GOLF EVENT ON MONDAY MAY 28TH   

Prior to the conference, you may extend your networking opportunities while enjoying one of Atlantic Canada's premiere golf courses: Glen Arbour Golf Course. www.glenarbour.com
Glen Arbour is owned and operated by Annapolis Group Inc., a land development company, whose roots date back to the 1930’s and the Joudry family of Hantsport, Nova Scotia. Most of the land that Glen Arbour is situated on was purchased in 1940’s and was held in the family until the course and the development were started in 1997.
The well known Canadian Golfer and Course Architect Graham Cooke first saw the land in 1996. Graham quickly realized that this piece of paradise with its natural features and elevation changes was the perfect place to build a flagship course for the Annapolis Group. Shortly there after, Glen Arbour Golf Course and Residential Development was born.
