BUILT ON TRADITION - POWERED BY COMMUNITY
The Pembina Oilmens Association has been bringing people together since 1965 through its annual Golf Tournament & Curling Bonspiel.
“Built on Tradition” reflects the long-standing history of the association and the legacy created by generations of volunteers and supporters.
“Powered by Community” recognizes the people, businesses, and sponsors who continue to support the association and its events today.
Together, this represents both the Association’s proud past and the strong community spirit that drives it forward.

“After nearly 17 years with the Board of the Pembina Oilmens Association, I can honestly say it’s about much more than curling or golf.
It’s about community, connection, and continuing a tradition of giving back. Seeing the impact we’ve made together over the years is something I’m incredibly proud to be part of.”
— Cory Nelson
President, Pembina Oilmens Association

Built on Tradition — Powered by Community
Join us for an evening of good food, laughs, tons of prizes and great company at the 62nd Annual Pembina Oilmens Bonspiel Banquet!
Saturday, January 23, 2027
$30 per person
Coming along to cheer on a team or just joining the celebration? Grab an extra banquet ticket and enjoy Saturday evening with the Oilmens community.
We typically welcome a live band, but this year’s entertainment is still being finalized—stay tuned for details!
Each ticket admits one person to the banquet and evening entertainment. Curling registration is sold separately.
“The Caesar hole was passed on to us wives a few years ago—pretty sure our husbands were gatekeeping how much fun this event is!
Now we’re out there first thing in the morning, rain or shine, drinks ready to start everyone’s round off on the right foot. We love being out there and might even have more laughs than the guys do!
The Nelson Bros. family is proud to be part of such a great weekend. Supporting and sponsoring events like this means a lot to our family and our community.
Cheers to many more years!”
