MONDAY, JUNE 4th
Located just minutes from Collingwood and nestled in the Blue
Mountains, the Raven Golf Club at Lora Bay will once again
host participants of the ODC Convention 2012 golf afternoon. The dramatic course design was influenced by
the dynamic forested escarpment and shoreline of
the Georgian Bay. Every hole, every bunker, every
green was intentionally sculpted to inspire players
both visusally and technically.
The golf after-
noon at the ODC Convention usually sells out
quickly so interested players are urged to
sign up as soon as possible.

MONDAY, JUNE 4th
This excursion offers both scenic and extreme adrenaline packed excitement. After winding up the Blue
Mountains past some of the most breathtaking scenery and scenic look-outs in Ontario, you will have an
exhilarating experience in a custom-designed Hummer Terrain Park. There, you’ll be chauffeured, off-road
style, through the extremes of what a Hummer can do – steep angles, log and rock crawls, 30 foot drops,
mud and water pits. Running shoes and appropriate attire are required. Anyone who is pregnant, has a heart
condition or has permanent/chronic neck or back pain should not participate.
