The Patrick Group of Companies is proud to welcome Sling-Choker Academy as the official Dinner Sponsor of the 2025 PG Invitational Charity Golf Tournament, taking place Monday, July 14 at Timberwolf Golf Club, Northern Ontario’s premier golf destination.
With tournament day just around the corner, Sling-Choker’s support plays a key role in creating more than a great day on the course. Their involvement helps us bring people together to support something far greater: improving the lives of children and youth across Northeastern Ontario. Proceeds from the event will directly benefit the HSN Foundation NEO Kids Fund and Compass, two frontline organizations dedicated to pediatric care and youth mental wellness.
“This is exciting news,” said Larah Bigras, Account Sales Manager at PSL Patrick Sprack Ltd. “Thank you so much for diving in to support. We’re proud to have you with us.”
Celebrating 50 Years With Purpose
Founded in Sudbury in 1975, Sling-Choker has grown from a local supplier into a national leader in rigging, safety, and lifting solutions, with 14 manufacturing locations across Canada. This year marks their 50th anniversary—a milestone built on innovation, safety, and strong partnerships across the mining, forestry, and construction sectors.
Their sponsorship of the tournament dinner comes at a meaningful moment, as they introduce Sling-Choker Academy, a new division dedicated to workplace training, rescue operations, and safety leadership. From high-angle rescue and confined space entry to accessibility solutions and site-specific programs, Sling-Choker Academy is focused on equipping workers, responders, and companies with the tools they need to operate safely and confidently.
Building Stronger Communities Together
The PG Invitational is hosted by the companies of the Patrick Group: Patrick Mechanical Ltd., PSL Patrick Sprack Ltd., S2 Metal Fabricators, GCCW Limited, Bisschops Industries, L. May MFG Inc., BadRiverBoats, NFS Auto Repair, and One Source Home Services. Every year, this cross-industry event brings together clients, partners, and friends to support health services that matter and keep them local.
By sponsoring this year’s dinner, Sling-Choker Academy is helping us deliver a memorable experience while reinforcing the bigger picture: care that stays close to home, partnerships that go deeper, and a community-first mindset that drives everything we do.
Thank You, Sling-Choker Academy
To the team at Sling-Choker Academy, thank you. Your sponsorship reflects the spirit of this event: industry leadership rooted in community care. We’re looking forward to celebrating with you at Timberwolf Golf Club and to building a stronger Northern Ontario, together.
