Gayle Pa­zos - Se­nior Vice Pres­i­dent and Man­ag­ing Di­rec­tor, Sco­tia­bank, was pleased with the char­i­ty event.

“To­day’s tour­na­ment has once again brought to­geth­er our char­i­ta­ble fo­cus as well as in­te­grat­ed the busi­ness of the bank, pro­vid­ing key clients with the op­por­tu­ni­ty to par­tic­i­pate and en­joy the day of golf,” said Pa­zos.

“This event al­lows us to adopt a broad­er can­cer-re­lat­ed fo­cus. A can­cer di­ag­no­sis is up­set­ting at any age, but es­pe­cial­ly so when the pa­tient is a child. This year, we’re pleased to an­nounce that the ben­e­fi­cia­ry of the Golf Tour­na­ment is the Just Be­cause Foun­da­tion, a child­hood can­cer sup­port or­gan­i­sa­tion which pro­vides a com­pre­hen­sive range of emo­tion­al, prac­ti­cal and so­cial sup­port ser­vices for chil­dren with can­cer.”

Play­ers en­joyed a full 18 holes of golf, and the game was a 7/8 hand­i­cap - 2 Ball Bet­ter Ball Sta­ble­ford.
