The Sports Turf Association (STA) has rebranded itself as a national association, changing its name to Sports Turf Canada to recognize members from across the country.

 

 

 

The turfgrass research program at Alberta’s Olds College Centre for Innovation (OCCI) has been awarded a $2.3-million grant over five years through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).

 

 

 

 

The Canadian Golf Superintendents Association (CGSA) is encouraging its members to band together as they struggle to bring their turf back to health following a harsh winter that has left many courses with unprecedented turf damage.

 

 

 

 

The sand and rubber infill at Toronto’s Rogers Centre has been replaced with an all-rubber infill to extend its lifespan and create a softer playing surface.

 

 

 

 

National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) Canada has chosen SportBox Entertainment Group to build, launch, and manage a new model for corporate partnerships, delivering marketing opportunities across Canada.
