Founded in 1986 by author and broadcaster Peter
Gzowski to raise funds for literacy across Canada, the PGIs (for "Peter
Gzowski Invitationals") have raised over $5 million since 1986.
Every dollar raised at a PGI stays in the community to help support
local literacy programs.
The PGIs are fun, informal affairs, featuring music
and poetry-every tournament has a Poet Laureate! Special guests this
season include CBC TV's Peter Mansbridge, CBC Radio Two's Shelagh
Rogers, Globe and Mail golf columnist Lorne Rubenstein, and Ernie
Coombs (a.k.a. Mr. Dressup).
