Fotos: Cindy Da Ponte Casa dos Açores of Ontario held the 18th edition of its traditional Annual Golf Tournament last Tuesday, an event that once again brought together dozens of participants, sponsors, volunteers, and members of the Portuguese-Canadian community in an atmosphere marked by fellowship, solidarity, and the preservation of Azorean identity. The tournament took place at Glen Eagle Golf Course in Caledon, Ontario, and its main objective was to raise funds to support the programs and services developed by the organization, reinforcing its commitment to the Portuguese community in Canada.
Under the theme “Honouring Our Heritage, Building Our Future,” the organization emphasized that the success of the initiative was only possible thanks to the involvement of players, sponsors, volunteers, and guests, whose participation helped strengthen the social and cultural projects promoted by Casa dos Açores of Ontario. In addition to the approximately 200 participants, the tournament also attracted a significant number of sponsors. The organization expressed its satisfaction with the strong turnout and has already extended an invitation to the 19th edition of the Annual Golf Tournament, reaffirming its goal of continuing to promote the spirit of friendship, solidarity, and mutual support that characterizes the Azorean and Portuguese communities in Ontario.
For Tobias Medeiros, representing the entire organizing committee — which also includes Arthur Leal, Joe Morgado, and Luís Câmara — this tournament holds a very special meaning, not only because of the sporting fellowship it provides, but above all because of its ability to bring friends together, strengthen community bonds, and promote solidarity around Casa dos Açores. According to Medeiros, the initiative represents an important form of support for the organization, helping it continue to successfully carry out its annual activities and preserve the values of unity, culture, and sharing associated with its mission.
“It is always with great joy and a strong sense of responsibility that we help organize this important moment for all of us. More than a competition, this tournament is a gathering of friends, a celebration of our community, and a way for us to contribute to a cause that is very dear to us,” he stated. Tobias Medeiros also highlighted the dedication of all members of the organizing committee and everyone who, directly or indirectly, contributes to making the event possible, emphasizing that the tournament’s success is the result of a spirit of cooperation and a collective desire to keep this tradition alive.
Suzanne da Cunha, also a member of the organizing committee and Executive Leader of Casa dos Açores, accompanied by Vice-President Odília Janeiro, did not hide her satisfaction with the impressive number of participants and the atmosphere experienced throughout the event. With a proud smile, she highlighted the calm and harmonious way in which everything unfolded, characterized by peace, joy, and the true spirit of camaraderie that brought everyone together. She further emphasized that the proceeds raised will go entirely toward Casa dos Açores, contributing to the continuation of its activities and the implementation of its action plan within the community.
With a heartfelt message, she wished everyone a wonderful holiday season, expressed deep gratitude to her dedicated team for their commitment and hard work, and made a point of recognizing the essential role of the media in promoting and highlighting the Azorean community by giving visibility to its initiatives, traditions, and achievements. Thus, the 18th edition of the Annual Golf Tournament was marked by success, unity, and the community spirit that continue to strengthen the mission of Casa dos Açores of Ontario. Romulo Ávila
