West Fraser supports Quesnel Community Foundation in annual golf tournament

The Pete Ketcham Memorial Golf Tournament raised $3,200

Forestry workers were recently at the Quesnel Golf Course swinging for a good cause after a two-year pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Pete Ketcham Memorial Golf Tournament was held on Saturday, June 25, with 120 West Fraser employees taking part.

“It is an annual tournament; however it was not held in 2020 or 2021, so we were excited to see it resume again in 2022,” said West Fraser corporate spokesperson Joyce Wagenaar.

Employees raised $3,200 for the Quesnel Community Foundation through prize draws and raffles.

Pete Ketcham was one of the three Ketcham brothers who together founded West Fraser over 65 years ago.
