E-ON BELLEVILLE SIMULATOR GOLF DAYS
The application period for Soldier On members wishing to participate in the E-ON Belleville Simulator Golf Days is now open.
The application deadline is 28 February 2025.
AIM AND SCOPE OF EVENT:
The Soldier On, Eastern Ontario Region will host a
Simulator Golf Days event at the Golf Lounge, in Belleville ON on 20-21 March 2025. Simulator golf offers a unique and fun social activity that also allows participants to be physically active while enjoying the sport of golf indoors. Eight selected participants will play in groups of four participants per simulator over 2 days. Basic golf instruction and simulator management are included.
The number of Soldier On participants is limited to
8.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:
Any serving member or veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF)
Kingston, Belleville, Trenton, and Brockville regions who acquired a permanent physical or mental health illness or injury while enrolled as a member of the CAF; whether attributable or not to service.
Serving members will require the approval of their Chain of Command to participate and must have the authorization form submitted to the E-ON Soldier On Regional Coordinator by the application deadline or your application will not be considered.
*NOTE FOR SERVING MEMBERS: Amidst current financial limitations and a federal directive to reduce defense spending within DND by a Billion dollars, serving members' participation in Soldier On events and activities will now be limited to within their own local region (i.e., selection for event outside of where they reside is unlikely). As a result, serving members are advised that participation beyond their local area is likely to be denied, as Soldier On cannot sponsor any temporary duty status for serving members in order to align with government guidelines for expenditure reduction. Unfortunately, serving members are not authorized to participate in Soldier On activities and events while on leave.*
