Schools are a central part of our communities
This is a story that really stands out from the pack. A story of how a kind gesture can mean so much. Recently our Accent Inn Vancouver Airport hotel in Richmond BC welcomed the South Okanagan Secondary School Field Hockey Team. This in itself is not out of the ordinary as we welcome and host many school sports teams. Teams are some of our favourite regular customers. This time though, the coaches and players from the SOSS team had more than just winning the tournament on their minds. ...read more about the students stay in Richmond
Jared Hundza Camosun Chargers Golf team member
Under the guidance of Coach John Randle, the Camosun College Chargers, who went to the nationals last season, had a great finish at the first tournament of 2011. Coach Randle obviously takes his experience as a Canadian PGA professional and owner of the Randle Golf school in Victoria, and applies it to the Chargers program. It’s very apparent that blessed with some very talented players and one of the best coaches anywhere, we can expect the Chargers to be well represented moving forward.
A great example of this is Jared Hundza, Camosun recruit, claiming the low total at PacWest Tournament #1. Despite his status as a first-year student-athlete at Camosun, the UBC transfer student quickly claimed the top spot on the Leaderboard as the newly-named PACWEST hit the links to begin the 2011 golf season. ...read more on the Chargers 2011 season
