Thursday, June 18: Golf Tournament
We are excited to announce that the popular CELF Golf Tournament is back in 2026.
On Thursday, June 18, 2026, all Seminar attendees are invited to participate in the Annual Jasper Golf Tournament to be held only a few steps from the main lodge at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge Golf Course, consistently rated as the #1 Golf Resort in all of Canada. The tournament has been part of CELF Jasper for over 50 years and affords an excellent opportunity to meet and network with fellow Seminar delegates, all while taking in mountain views, wildlife and crisp alpine air.
ARE YOU A BEGINNER?
No worries, you should definitely SIGN UP TO PLAY this year – we’ve got you covered!
- No clubs? No problem – the JPL Pro Shop will get you geared up with club rentals and hitting balls on the range in less than 5 mins!
- A pre-round group golf lesson is available to give you pointers and ensure you know the basics!
- Free food and beverages available throughout the round (included in entry fee)!
- Mulligans/“do-overs”, “grenades”, and other advantages will be available to boost your game!
- The “shotgun” and “best ball” format takes the pressure off and lets you enjoy the round!

ARE YOU A SCRATCH GOLFER/EXPERT?
Then you are aware of the awesomeness of the JPL Course, are already signed up and have probably booked to play a quick 18 before the tournament. The “shotgun” and “best ball” format will ensure a steady pace of play. The longest drive challenge, closest to the pin and other contests will let you strut your stuff against some of the best legal golf talent from across the country. And, of course, the CELF green jackets are on the line too!
Registration for the golf tournament will be available through the CELF registration system. Space is limited so be sure to include your golf registration when you sign up for the seminar. Requests for pairings or groups will be accommodated as best as possible. Please email seminars@energylawfoundation.ca if you have a request.
The tournament is open to all Seminar delegates and guests. Additional golf tee times are available for Friday and Saturday afternoon by booking directly with the Jasper Park Lodge.
