Pull together for the Douglas! All are invited to participate in our annual Tug of War benefitting the Douglas Hospital.

The funds raised allow the Douglas—the largest research centre in mental health in Quebec—to continue its ground-breaking mental health and neuroscience research, to offer first-class care to individuals living with mental illness, and to raise awareness among the public.
​
Every year at the Montreal Highland Games, the Black Watch offers a challenge to all comers for the Black Watch Challenge Cup.

How can I help?
  • Join or start a team! Teams need to be comprised of 8 people plus a captain, and are asked to get sponsorship in support of the Douglas Hospital. No experience necessary—all for fun! For more information or to register, please email our Tug of War Coordinator Gregory Doyle.
  • Sponsor a team! If you aren't rooting for a particular team, why not sponsor the St. Andrew's Society team—help the "home team" support the Douglas!
