| | Peter Mansbridge Named National Spokesman for PGI Golf Tournaments for Literacy |
 | | Mansbridge confirms that the literacy cause carries added significance because of his professional and personal connection to the printed word. |
 | | Mansbridge, the signature anchor for CBC News and the network's host and journalist for most major news and sports events, has been associated with the PGIs since 1991, when he was invited by Peter Gzowski to attend his first tournament at the PGI Briars in Sutton, Ontario. |
 | | Every year, Mansbridge is joined in support of the cause by more than 2,200 PGI participants, including decision-makers from business, media, entertainment, sports, academic and political circles, who recognize that basic literacy skills are essential for adults to participate fully in their workplaces and communities, and in the social and political life of their country. |
