History of The Tournament
In 1933 a group of food products suppliers and grocery retailers convened to assemble a golf tournament that would allow retailer staff and food vendors the chance to network and relax. This idea grew to include any supplier that handled food and related products to food. Thus, the Food and Allied Industries title.
The tournament grew to become a huge tradition in Ontario. It became so successful that the committee was able to designate excess funds to The Grocery Foundation. The tournament now draws over 540 golfers per year and has donated over $150,000 to children's charities
in Ontario.
2011 marks the 77th year of this tradition - a tradition that continues to allow
for camaraderie and fun in this great industry.
