Sponsors
We held off as long as we could in hopes that we could still host the 2020 Westman Dreams for Kids McDonalds Classic. Our Board of Directors decided that this year, with so many uncertain factors due to the COVID 19 pandemic that the risk is to high to host this years event. The 2020 Westman Dreams for Kids McDonalds Classic is officially cancelled.
We appreciate each and everyone of our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, hole host and supporters for their continued dedication to Westman Dreams for Kids.
Spring and Summer have always been our seasons to be out in the public hosting events. We are sad that we have seen our 3 big events cancelled this year, but we are very excited for brighter days in 2021!
We continue to help children in need in Westman working with over 20 local families right now. If you know of a family that could use our help during these very hard times, visit our website at www.wdfk.ca and refer a family to see if they qualify for assistance.
This video is last years amazing event! We hope to see all of you again soon!
Take care ❤️
We had a great visit this morning with our little buddy Jasper as he tested out the different apparatus at the Westman Dreams for Kids Accessibility Park! Although the park isn’t open to the public quite yet it will be in the next couple weeks. This was by far his favourite part of the park, and the Major boys had a blast too!

It’s been an exciting week for us!
All of the individual pieces have been installed for the Westman Dreams for Kids Accessibility park! Next is for the surfacing to be installed which will be completed in the next couple days.
We are so thankful for all the support we have received from the community building this park and to our wonderful friends at J and G Homes who enabled us to make this possible. Soon we will be able to have children with special needs in our community enjoying this awesome addition @brandonriverbank
