The field has been set for the 2025 Canadian All Abilities Championship and a pair of central Alberta golfers will compete.

Blackfalds resident Liam LaFrance with the Wolf Creek Golf Resort and Red Deer’s Shane Westin with the Alberta Golf Public Players Club will represent the region at the tournament, which will run from Aug. 4-7 at The Dunes in Kamloops, B.C..

The three-round championship, which kicks off Tuesday, Aug. 5, following a practice round on Monday, is taking part for the fifth time and features 48 players with neurological, intellectual, sensory, and physical impairments.

The athletes will face off in four different divisions regardless of disability classification including women’s gross stroke play, women’s net stableford, men’s gross stroke play, and men’s net stableford.

“We are excited to begin the fifth playing of the Canadian All Abilities Championship at The Dunes at Kamloops next week,” said Golf Canada Tournament Director Rogan Doyle, in a press release. “Our championship expanded to 54-holes last year, featuring both a gross stroke play championship and a net stableford championship. This format provides equitability for the field competing for the national championship. We appreciate the work of the staff and volunteers at The Dunes as we work to collectively deliver a memorable experience for those competing in Kamloops.”
