The Canada Day Hole In One fundraiser at the Lac La Biche Golf Club turned the greens into a sea of red and white.

The annual fundraiser at the lakeside golf course drew 200 golfers — many dressed in red and white and trailing the Canadian Flag behind golf carts. There were a few Canada flag umbrellas on display as well, with rain clouds threatening for most of the day, but only a few brief showers interrupted the hunt for the illusive hole in one shot.

While there were no aces registered this year, several closest-to-the pin winners were within just a few inches.

The tournament has been held for the last 20 years and turns the every hole on the par 72 course into a 150 yards-or less par 3.
