Volunteers Make a Difference
Last night a caddie bag signed by all players competing this week was auctioned off during the volunteer appreciation party. The unique souvenir fetched a total of $3,250 for the Children's Hospital of Western Ontario. That figure was generously matched by CN, bringing the grand total raised to $6,500.

Outstanding Volunteers
The community of London made an impact with its gracious support and hospitality of the 2006 CN Canadian Women's Open.
