Ottawa's Premier Charity Golf Event Is Back for Year Nine
Ottawa's annual EY Golf Quest 4 Clinical Trials is returning for its ninth edition, and if the pre-event festivities are any indication, this year's tournament is shaping up to be the best one yet.
Before players even step onto the fairways of the Canadian Golf and Country Club, organizers are rolling out the red carpet with a cocktail reception at Abby's Wine Bar — complete with a few familiar faces from the NHL Alumni circuit and an exclusive private dinner at Harmons.
A Night Before the Big Day
The pre-tournament reception is more than just a warm-up. It's a chance for participants, sponsors, and supporters to connect in a relaxed setting before the main event. Having NHL Alumni in attendance adds a special energy to the evening — for hockey-obsessed Ottawa, that's not a small thing.
Abby's Wine Bar provides a fitting backdrop for the kind of intimate gathering that sets the tone for a day of friendly competition and meaningful fundraising.
Why It Matters: Clinical Trials at The Ottawa Hospital
At its heart, EY Golf Quest 4 Clinical Trials exists to support something much bigger than golf. All proceeds go toward The Ottawa Hospital (TOH), one of Canada's foremost academic health centres and a leader in clinical research.
Clinical trials are the bridge between scientific discovery and real patient care — they're how new treatments get tested, refined, and eventually brought to the people who need them most. The Ottawa Hospital runs hundreds of trials at any given time, spanning cancer, cardiac care, neurology, and beyond. Community fundraising events like this one play a real role in keeping that research funded and moving forward.
Over eight previous editions, Golf Quest has built a strong track record of bringing Ottawa's business and sports communities together around a cause that touches virtually every Ottawa family in some way.
The Canadian Golf and Country Club Setting
The Canadian Golf and Country Club, nestled just outside the city, is one of the region's most storied courses — a fitting venue for an event that has become a fixture on Ottawa's charitable calendar. The combination of a beautiful course, great company, and a genuinely important cause makes it easy to understand why Golf Quest keeps drawing participants back year after year.
Get Involved
Whether you're a golfer looking to play, a business interested in sponsorship, or simply someone who wants to support The Ottawa Hospital's clinical research mission, EY Golf Quest 4 Clinical Trials is worth putting on your radar.
Nine years in, this tournament has earned its place as one of Ottawa's signature charity events — and with NHL Alumni, a wine bar kickoff, and a world-class golf course all in the mix, it's also just a genuinely good time.
