From September 12 through September 14, 2022 the Canadian All Abilities Championship, presented by BDO was held at the Essex Golf & Country Club, 7555 Matchette Road, LaSalle. Now in its second year, the national golf championship consists of a 36-hole competition that features players with neurological, intellectual, sensory, and physical impairments. Forty golfers from across Canada and the USA participated with their aides. The competition supports Golf Canada’s commitment to create a more inclusive and respectful sport environment across the country’s golf community. “Essex Golf & Country Club wanted to participate in a national tournament that showcases players of all abilities and promotes the great game of golf in our beautiful city,” states Corey Ladouceur, General Manager. “Essex Golf has been involved in National Championships since our first hosting of the 1976 Canadian Open, followed by the 1998 Ladies Open and 2002 Seniors Open, and we look forward to future opportunities to share our club and city with the world.” Go to: EssexGolf.com to learn more about the club, becoming a member, event spaces and dining options.

After temporarily closing due to a gas explosion in August 2021, John Urban and Katherine Burton, Owners of Cellar Door Wines have recently reopened at 4 Talbot Street West in Wheatley, just in time for the Christmas wine making season. “Our customers have become more like friends than customers,” say Urban and Burton. “It’s a very social and interpersonal business that brings about connecting and sharing. We have missed all of our friends throughout our absence.” Cellar Door Wines is a craft wine making establishment based on the customer experiencing the satisfaction of making and bottling their own wine, for considerably less cost than commercially made wine. “We have a wide variety of juices, which come from regions all over the world,” they indicate. “Our red, white, rosé, and fruit wines are designed to be collections.” For more information visit: OrderCellarDoorWines.com.
