One of the big things that drew me to politics: disc golf. When I was brand new to the community, I worked with other residents and the City to get the Thrill Hill Disc Golf Course built. It was hugely rewarding. I wanted to continue working to make Grande Prairie better, and to help others to do the same.
Because disc golf started my Council journey, I wanted to start my campaign with a disc golf event. So on July 26th, I’ll be hosting a Birdie Hunt. 7:00pm at Thrill Hill. This is a fun, casual format. Details on it are below.
This is a campaign fundraiser. To get elected, money is needed to pay for a website, buy door knocking literature, build signs, host events, and support volunteers. But I’m concerned about the role big, anonymous donors often play in politics. So I’ve capped the size of donations I’ll accept, and will be disclosing the names of donors who give me over $100. This makes it harder to fundraise, but is the right thing to do. I hope you will help my fundraising efforts by coming to this event.
This event costs $45. It comes with a fun round of disc golf, and a new disc with a limited edition custom stamp and a chance at a unique trophy. There will also be opportunities to make additional donations to buy advantages or get a chance at some prizes (details below).
If you can’t attend this event but would still like to donate to my campaign, you can click here. If you would like an event disc, I’ll save one for you if you let me know and make a donation of $40 or more.
You can reserve your spot by filling out this form. You’ll receive an email with more information, including how to pay.
Birdie hunt format
One Round at Thrill Hill
Winner is the person with the most birdies. Overall score does not matter.
Players can use a “bullet” to re-do any shot. It can be used on a drive, approach, or putt. Players can use as many bullets as they wish to use.
All players who pre-register will be given 3 free bullets. Players can purchase additional bullets before the round for a $2 donation per bullet. They can purchase additional bullets mid-round for a $3 donation per bullet.
Players can purchase a shot gun shell at anytime for a $5. They can use a shotgun shell to force another player to re-do any shot.
Hunters’ Help side challenge
After the round, a Closest to the Pin competition throwing down Thrill Hill will be held.
The prize will be Dylan’s caddie services at an upcoming league night. Package includes stool, umbrella, and cold drink service.
Players can purchase throws for a $5 donation/throw.
Players must throw a separate disc for each throw
donation information
Dylan is disclosing the names of all donors who give $100 or more to his campaign. He also will not accept more than $300 from a single individual.
The $45 event entry does NOT count as a donation towards these thresholds
Only Alberta residents can purchase an event entry or donate to Dylan’s campaign. But BC residents are welcome to take part in this event. Rather than paying or donating to Dylan, they will be asked to make an equivalent donation to the Saint Lawrence Centre
