The Home Builders of Ottawa Women Leaders (HOWL) Summer Golf Day, presented by Scotiabank, brought members together July 7 at Loch March Golf Club for an afternoon of golf, networking and community in support of Shepherds of Good Hope.
The event featured nine holes of golf, dinner, prizes and social activities, giving attendees an opportunity to connect while celebrating the women of HOWL. Designed to foster relationships and strengthen the organization’s network, the annual gathering emphasized community, collaboration and fun.
This year’s event also raised awareness for Shepherds of Good Hope. For more than 40 years, the Ottawa organization has provided emergency shelter, nutritious meals, specialized care and supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness and other complex challenges. Through its foundation, the organization continues to expand services by connecting donors and community partners with opportunities to make a lasting impact.
HOWL is part of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association (GOHBA).
