More Event Information

In 2006, a beloved co-worker and friend, Karen Craig, passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. In her honor we have created our annual Karen Craig Memorial Golf Tournament, which is a nine-hole fund raising event. In 2016, we unfortunately lost two more colleagues well before their time. Dr. Ian Thumlert and April Barr were as committed to making a difference in their community as Karen was, and it is Family Ties intent to carry on their legacy. Along with other past staff we have lost, Joe Nassar and Nadine Skow, we have decided to change the name to the Family Ties Association Memorial Golf Tournament in honor of all of these important and dedicated staff.

The funds raised at our yearly tournament will go toward an Annual Award that is granted to a deserving 2nd year student each year in the Child and Youth Care Program at the Lethbridge College.

Each year staff, professionals and community minded sponsors come together for an afternoon and evening of fun, friendly competition and fellowship, all the while contributing to worthwhile cause.
