Plaza Auto Group is marking 70 years [1] in the automotive industry with a charity golf tournament in Orillia, Ontario.
The event serves as both a corporate milestone and a philanthropic effort, leveraging the company's long-standing presence in the region to raise funds for charity.
CEO Robert Stein said the celebration will take place at the Hawk Ridge Golf Club [1], [2]. The tournament is designed to commemorate the company's longevity in the car business, which has spanned 70 years [1].
Local businesses and community members are expected to participate in the event. By hosting the tournament at Hawk Ridge, the group aims to combine its anniversary celebration with a commitment to community support [2].
The automotive sector often sees high turnover among independent dealerships, making a 70-year [1] tenure a rarity in the industry. This event highlights the company's transition through several decades of automotive evolution—from traditional combustion engines to the modern era.
Stein said the tournament is a way to recognize the history of the business while giving back to the community that supported its growth over seven decades [1], [2].
