London Canadian PGA star promoting fire safety in new provincewide campaign Listowel native Corey Conners shot a commercial promoting fire safety. (Source: Submitted) Share Corey Conners isn't promoting a new putter or golf brand with his newest commercial. He's lending his name and prestige to promote fire safety across Ontario.
"Silence on the golf course helps me focus for moments like this...
(sinks putt). But, silence at home can be dangerous, especially when your smoke alarm doesn't alert you to a fire," said Conners in a just released public service announcement, for the North Perth and Minto Fire departments. The Listowel native took a day out of his busy tour schedule to shoot this new PSA at his hometown course in Listowel last month.
Conners lives in Listowel with his family. A relative, who works as a North Perth volunteer fire firefighter, asked Conners if he'd lend his name recognition to a fire safety campaign, and the rest is history. "It was actually his wife Mallory who communicated back and forth a fair bit.
And they worked within our schedule and theirs and were great to work with. The Listowel Golf Course could be used as it's very close to where they live, work and play. And so everything just fell together," said North Perth Fire Chief Janny Pape.
