The annual U.S. and Canadian Professional Firefighters Golf Tournament was coordinated and founded in 1964 by Montreal,Canada firefighter Mr. Roger LaPierre (3/14/17 - 9/23/91). Since then, several hundred firefighters/golfers have gathered together each September to golf, trade hats, shirts and war stories. Mr. LaPierre’s legacy and the tournament tradition carries on annually and all professional and retired firefighters are welcome. New teams and participants are encouraged to join this annual event.
