The Brandon Disc Golf Club was honoured to receive $8500.00 from the Westoba Inspire Program. Along with contributions from local businesses and individuals, this funding will bring Brandon’s first permanent disc golf course to Canada Games Park in summer 2025. The project is a collaborative effort with City of Brandon Parks & Recreation Services.
Sharon Enns, President of the Brandon Disc Golf Club, emphasized the positive impact the 9-hole disc golf course will have on the community and noted it will fill a gap in affordable and accessible recreational activities. “We are thrilled to bring disc golf to Brandon,” said Enns. “It’s an enjoyable activity for all and is easy to play. The course will offer a new, low-cost way for people to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. We can’t wait to see the community get involved and make the most of this addition to our city.”
Legacy Westoba CEO and ACU Chief Strategic Project Officer Jim Rediger says this investment represents credit union values and principles. “Supporting organizations like the Brandon Disc Golf Club and the installation of this disc golf course, invests in the health of our community; it provides equitable access to recreation and offers an opportunity for people to connect and build friendships. These are tangible representations of our values and our credit union principles in action,” said Rediger.
Installation of the course will begin in spring, with completion anticipated by summer 2025.
