2010 GTA MTS Allstream Employee Golf Tournament
GTA employees: Sign up for the 2010 MTS Allstream Employee Golf Tournament.
It was 51 years ago, back in 1958, that a number of CN employees put together a few foursomes and played a round of golf.
A few years later, in 1961, the CN Engineering League tournament, the grandfather of today's MTS Allstream Toronto area
Employee tournament, was launched.
This tournament is open to MTS Allstream Employees, Pensioners and Suppliers
at all skill levels. Back by popular demand from last year is a choice between "Best Ball" or "Stroke Play" formats.
The "shotgun start" format will get underway at 1:00 pm.
The cost of $100.00 per person ($75 for Pensioners)
includes golf with power cart, a small bucket of balls for the driving range, and a fabulous dinner at the clubhouse.
Once again this year all players will also receive a special gift, and there will be door prizes to keep you on the
edge of your seat until the grand prize is awarded.

Bi-Weekly Edmonton Koffee Klatches:
The bi-weekly, 9:00AM, coffee klatches continue in Edmonton with people meeting at
the Yellowhead Motor Inn, corner of 149th Street and Yellowhead Trail, every second Friday.
If you want to figure out when the next one is taking place, use Friday, May 8th as a reference
and count every two weeks from there. It’s great to go out for breakfast and shoot the breeze with former
co-workers and associates.

The above location is on the south side of the city with access to 76 Avenue off the Sherwood Park
Freeway using either the 50 Street south turn-off or the 34 Street south turn-off.
It's actually quite easy to get to.
The fare is unreal! From carved roast beef, chicken and fish to a multiplicity of salads, potatoes and
vegetables culminating in an exquisite dessert table comprised of too many yummy things to mention.
The price is in keeping with what is being provided and is competitively in line with other,
similar establishments...if not better.
The cost is $22.00 per person.
EVERYBODY IS WELCOME!
Please pass this information on to others especially those who used to work at CNT and chose
to end their careers with a different entity.
We look forward to seeing you there!
