Some background on the event...

Our good friend Pierre Despatie a long-time member of the Ottawa Tennis and Lawn Bowling Club (OTLBC) and avid athlete and tennis player passed away several years ago. This tournament is run to remember him and to raise money for Search and Rescue Global 1 (SAR Global 1), an Ottawa based charity that spent countless days searching for him.

I'd be remiss if I didn't thank our generous sponsors Trimark Mutual Funds, CI Investments, Guardian Group of funds, Pallenburg Wealth Management, Kunstadt Sports, Images on Bank and Accenture.

As well, I'd also like to recognize the hard work of Shawn Barker the OTLBC tournament chair, Camille Lewis the OTLBC General Manager and her staff, Paula Harris Syed, our Sponsorship Chair, Rob Hallatt from tennis-draws.com, the Ottawa Tennis and Lawn Bowling Club for hosting the event, the 55 players who participated in the tournament and Search and Rescue Global 1 for providing on site first aid services during the tournament.
