PRINCE ALBERT — The First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) 2025 President’s Cup Fundraising Classic will take place Thursday, July 10 at Cooke Municipal Golf Course in Prince Albert, marking the tournament’s first time in the province’s northern region.

Funds raised will support the development of FNUniv’s new northern campus in Prince Albert. This project will expand access to culturally grounded, community-driven post-secondary education for Indigenous students in northern Saskatchewan. Proceeds from the tournament will go directly toward building a campus rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems, languages and traditions, with new programming planned in Indigenous science, health and technology.

“Hosting the President’s Cup in Prince Albert represents more than a location change. It reflects our deepening investment in northern communities,” said Dr. Jacqueline Ottmann, president of the First Nations University of Canada.

“This new campus will honour Indigenous ways of knowing and help meet the growing demand for accessible, culturally affirming education in the North.”

The day will feature a Texas scramble-style tournament, sponsor-hosted hole activities, on-course contests such as longest drive and closest to the pin, lunch, and a banquet to conclude the day.

“The President’s Cup is about more than golf. It’s about building relationships, supporting students, and creating real change,” said Gord Hunchak, vice-president of University Relations at FNUniv. “We invite individuals and organizations from across Saskatchewan to help us invest in the future of Indigenous post-secondary education in the North.”
