Vancouver, British Columbia Section
The Vancouver Section of the PNWSCT meets monthly to learn about changing technologies and to serve our members and the public at large, in the promotion of science… and hopefully to have some fun.
Highlights:
Childrens hospital – JR Memorial golf tournament
We are thrilled to announce that PNWSCT has raised and donated $4,500 to the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation, thanks to the generous contributions from our John Riddell Memorial Golf Tournament. This annual event not only honors the memory of John Riddell, but also allows us to give back to the community in a meaningful way.
A huge shoutout to Ross Nordin and Ron Vanderdrift for their incredible efforts in organizing the tournament and making this event such a success.
We are proud to support the children and families who rely on BC Children’s Hospital, and we hope this donation will help make a positive impact on their lives.
Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this cause. Together, we can make a difference!
We look forward to another great time next in June 2026.
Come out “Fore” some fun!
