Golf Canada Cancels NextGen At Bear Mountain

With the province-wide restrictions that are in place through April 19, 2021, Golf Canada has cancelled the 2021 NextGen Pacific Championship...

Scheduled for May 5-8, 2021, at Bear Mountain Golf Resort, the tournament is a victim of the province’s directive that all non-essential travel should be avoided. This includes travel into and out of B.C. and between regions of the province.

In their release, Golf Canada said, “In consult with viaSport British Columbia as well as provincial health officials and our event partners, Golf Canada will continue to evaluate provincial health and travel restrictions related to COVID-19 to make informed and responsible decisions related to 2021 championships scheduled to be conducted in the province. The safety and well-being of our championship competitors, tournament staff, and volunteers along with event stakeholders and our host community at large is paramount to Golf Canada.”

Going forward, the feasibility of conducting each NextGen Championships will be evaluated no later than 3-4 weeks prior to the start of the competition.
