It is an honour to join the CGSA Board of Directors and I am excited to work with this great group of people that comprise the CGSA Board. I would like to formally congratulate Dustin Zdan, AGS on his appointment to Vice President as well as on his new role as Golf Course Superintendent of Black Hawk Golf Club. I look forward to attempting to fill your shoes as Alberta Director, albeit big shoes to fill. |

CMHA Mental Health Week is all about the importance of empathy and through our partnership with CMHA and the Not Myself Today program, we are encouraging everyone to #GetReal about how to help. When someone is struggling, you don’t have to fix their pain. Tune in and see through their eyes. This is empathy. You can understand even if you don’t agree. Trying to understand someone’s feelings. This is empathy. We may be different but we’re not on different sides. See the world as others do. This is empathy.
