“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

“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!”
