The Guichon family will be honoured at this Friday's Delta Heritage Golf Classic.

In keeping with previous tournaments, this year's event acknowledges and recognizes a family that has deep roots in Delta and has played an essential part in Delta's history.

This year, recognition goes to the Guichon family pioneers, who in the early 1890s became the first hoteliers in Delta, operating along the Fraser River at what quickly became known as Port Guichon.

The Delta Museum and Archives Society's 12th annual golf tourney is being held at Beach Grove Golf Club.

Proceeds support the society's efforts to increase public awareness of Delta's uniqueness and to develop educational programs to preserve its history.

Last year, all funds raised from the tournament went towards the museum's outreach exhibits to help increase community engagement.
