A new initiative, one fundamental to the Society and Thompson clubs is the authentication of true Thompson facilities. This important 'provenance' study program is being achieved through a scholarship and research funding grant to University of Guelph. The Society is pleased to announce that graduate student and CPGA member Kirsten Brown plus faculty experts in the field Dr. Cecelia Paine and Sean Kelly have been selected to develop classification and assessment models for Thompson courses as per initial design, modifications over time & current status.
