The 44th 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 27 teams and more than 100 golfers on the course, players took on the intense heat and a brief downpour, but the weather didn’t dampen their spirits as they came together in support of the Alumni Bursary – Valley Branch. For highlights, check out our photo gallery.
