The idea to use curling to raise funds for Frontier College came originally from award-winning Canadian broadcaster and journalist Peter Gzowski over 30 years ago. It has evolved into the Peter Gzowski Invitational (PGI), a national series of locally produced events featuring musicians, media and literacy celebrities. In Ontario, the annual PGI Bonspiel for Literacy is a chance for novice and expert curlers to hurry hard for literacy!

Location: Port Arthur Curling Club  214 Egan St, Thunder Bay, ON

The SCRABBLE® Corporate Challenge is a fun-filled evening where Toronto’s Bay Street scores big for literacy. This is an excellent opportunity to entertain key clients, business associates, and valued employees with a rewarding evening of fun and excitement. Players rack up triple word scores to vie for the coveted TMX Cup and the opportunity to open the Toronto Stock Exchange. Since 2005, this unique event has raised over $4 million for Frontier College.
