This year, the UBC Southern Medical Program class of 2019 chose the Canadian Mental Health Association, Kelowna (CMHA Kelowna), as their charity of choice.

Together with event sponsors Scotiabank and MNP, over 100 faculty, students and community members participated in this 测别补谤香蕉视频直播檚 golf tournament at the Harvest Golf Club, raising $16,500 which will support local youth through Foundry Kelowna, the new service that CMHA Kelowna is the lead agency for.
