The 43rd Acadia Alumni Golf Tournament was another success at KenWo Golf Club in New Minas, Nova Scotia, located in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People.

With 32 teams and more than 125 golfers on the course, the day was marked by intense heat and high spirits as players braved the conditions in support of the Alumni Bursary – Valley Branch. For highlights, check out our photo gallery.
