Manic Monday | A TOTA Health Tip

If I told you that our team at TOTA could assist you with Weight Loss, Better Sleep, Reduced Stress, Heart Health, Strong Bones and Overall Longevity I bet you would want to know more!

Well...these are all of the benefits of a sport that most of us are very familiar with and one that we want you to participate in on September 1st - The annual Thompson Okanagan Golf Tournament.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the tournament and we want you to take part not only for all of the amazing health benefits noted, but also for a chance to enjoy networking with others in the tourism industry from around the region and the province and it is a great way to support the BC Hospitality Foundation who benefit from partial proceeds at this event.

Of course there are great prizes and a fantastic dinner planned but mostly we want you to come for your health and well being 😁 and you don't have to take our word for it...all of these tremendous health benefits that are yours to enjoy as a result of golf are outlined in more detail in that attached online article on health and fitness....

Already playing? Invite someone you know to join you!  And Remember you are doing it for their health...

Manic Monday | Is there someone you should invite to play?

These are busy days for our tourism stakeholders but If you have found the time to catch some of the Summer Olympics you may have had the opportunity to see what has quickly become my favorite commercial of the games. It is not one of the dramatic advertisements featuring Team Canada athletes or some of the incredible scenery from Rio but rather a small group of boys picking participants for their baseball team.

I don't know about you, but I have definitely stood there waiting to have my name chosen to join a team and unless you are a naturally gifted young athlete this can be one of life's most difficult early experiences.

The ad portrays a young boy, seemingly a new Canadian, watching from the sidelines as the team selection process unfolds. Ultimately he is invited to join much to the disdain of some of the other players. After knocking the ball out of the park his teammate queries him "you said you didn't play baseball ?"  to which his one word answer is "Cricket”, followed by a broad smile and the caption  "We all play for Canada"

As a country, a province, region or community we all have so much to contribute and as we work to understand the breadth and depth of our fellow Canadians be they First Nations, Multi Generational or New immigrant we open ourselves up to incredible learning, understanding, respect, and admiration.

TOTA is about to have it's 25th Golf Tournament...Is there someone you should invite to play?
