We are ecstatic to bring Mr. Fuhr to the Cowichan Valley.”Planned events will include a charity golf tournament, gala dinner, silent and live auction on Friday, May 6, and on May 7, events will include a street hockey tournament and public signing session with Fuhr. Fuhr will be taking part in all of the events throughout the weekend.For more information, please contact the “Hockey Is Life!” team at 250.416.6740 or go to www.hockeyislife.ca.“The golf tournament will be a show-stopper. Not only is Grant Fuhr going to be meeting and taking pictures with all of the golfers, but two foursomes can get the opportunity to actually golf with him for 9 holes each,” said Findlay.
