A Record-Breaking Day at the 9th Annual SDC Classic Golf & Cultural Event
he sun was shining and the spirit of community was stronger than ever at the 9th Annual SDC Classic Golf & Cultural Event, held on Friday, September 19, 2025, at the beautiful Shuswap National Golf Course in Salmon Arm, BC.
This year’s tournament was nothing short of spectacular. With more than 120 golfers participating, a new fundraising record shattered, and an incredible roster of sponsors, the event reinforced why the SDC Classic has become one of the most anticipated community golf events of the year.
A Celebration of Sport, Culture, and Community
Hosted annually by Splatsin Development Corporation (SDC), the SDC Classic brings together business partners, community members, and friends for a day of friendly competition and cultural connection.
The tournament followed a 9-hole Texas Scramble format, with half the teams starting on the front nine and half on the back nine. This fun, inclusive structure encouraged teamwork and kept the pace lively throughout the day.
Participants enjoyed networking over lunch, tested their skills in contests like Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin, and wrapped up the day with a post-golf dinner and prize ceremony filled with laughter, stories, and celebration.
Fundraising Milestone: A Record Year
Thanks to the generosity of participants and sponsors, this year’s Classic raised a record-breaking amount in support of Splatsin community initiatives—smashing the previous fundraising total by a wide margin.
Funds raised through the SDC Classic help support a range of programs that strengthen the Splatsin community, including youth sports, cultural programming, and infrastructure improvements. Last year’s tournament, for example, helped install new digital scoreboards at the Splatsin Community Centre, benefiting youth basketball and volleyball programs. This year’s achievements will carry that legacy forward in an even bigger way.
Thank You to Our Sponsors
The success of the SDC Classic would not be possible without the incredible support of our sponsors.
Canco Petroleum served as the Title Sponsor for 2025, joined by an outstanding roster of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Hole, and Contest sponsors who stepped up to make the day a success. Their contributions funded prizes, supported logistics, and ensured that every dollar raised could go directly to community priorities.
SDC extends heartfelt thanks to all sponsors for their partnership and generosity.
