Last year's tournament was made more enticing and affordable for fans through special ticket offers and complimentary parking. The fan experience was enhanced by onsite attractions open to the public, such as golf simulators and displays, putting contests, drink tastings, water stations, mural paintings and a relaxation lounge. RBC offered interactive displays that educated fans about the company's business and golf program, and tournament information was easily accessible to fans via a new mobile website, daily e-blasts and social media posts. "On behalf of RBC, Golf Canada and everyone involved with Canada's national open golf championship, it's an honour for the RBC Canadian Open to be recognized among the `Best of' awards," said Canadian Open tournament director Bill Paul. "Delivering a worldclass fan experience is a priority for the championship and this award is a testament to the full team effort among our tournament sponsors and stakeholders as well as our dedicated team of more than 2,400 volunteers." 14U Thunder perfect at Brampton tournament The Oakville Thunder 14-under blue team (pictured above) won gold at the recent Challenge Cup volleyball tournament in Brampton. Oakville defeated the Guelph Grizzlies 14U in straight sets, 25-11, 25-8, to conclude an undefeated showing. The Thunder also posted a straight-set victory in the semis, downing the MVC Marron 14U. Members of the Thunder are Angy Higgy, Emily Semplonius, Ivy Gibson, Alisa Ermarkaryan, Nicole Croteau, Reilly McKay, Talia Loreti, Jade Breau, Alexandra Kinkartz and Maddie Watson.
