With the onset of spring, our Alberta Turfgrass Research Foundation concludes its 2022/2023 fiscal year on March 31. Timely with our new growing season, members received their annual voluntary renewal invoices April 1st. Thank you to all our contributors, we aspire to show return on your investment.
The WCTA Board is pleased to announce it will continue supporting important and valuable turf research in 2023. Based on funds raised in 2022, cash available to the Research Committee for new project funding is $20,599.

The turgrass research funding year begins with our annual conference and trade show. Prior to COVID, these three days would yield about a third of our annual fundraising through the Silent Auction, 50/50 draw and by the efforts of the Kwantlen Turf Club. In the past, any contributions from allied organizations were presented at the show.
