Pedlars & Grinders Tournament set for the fall

After being cancelled last year, the Pedlars & Grinders Golf Tournament is slated to take place Sept. 9 at the Grey Silo Golf Club in Waterloo, Ont. The event’s organizers made the announcement over the weekend to coincide with the anniversary of the untimely death of one of its founders, Steve Duplantis. A former sales manager at Schlage, Duplantis was later long-time partner at Canadian Pro Marketing. The tournament has raised $286,000 to date for Sleeping Children Around the World, providing more than 8,200 bed kits. In the event of another cancellation, organizers will explore alternative fundraising options.
