It was a tough decision by Sportsnet, but the Meridian Open international curling event (preOlympic Games), from January 11 to 16, which was to be hosted by Rose City Curling Club, has been cancelled. As COVID numbers continue to rise across the country, Sportsnet and Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling series have made the difficult decision to cancel the Meridian Open. While disappointing, this decision was made
to continue the pursuit of their top priority–the health and safety of the players, volunteers, fans, employees and partners. “The good news is that we will be hosting the same event on January 10 to 15,

2023. So it isn’t so much as cancelled, but postponed,” said Ken Duggan, of the organizing committee. Sportsnet thanked the passionate curling community of Camrose for their ongoing support of the Grand Slam series, and looks forward to working with the dedicated local organizing committee to bring the world’s best curlers to Camrose in the near future. The Meridian Open was set to host 32 of the top-ranked curling teams
in the world. The top 16 women’s and the top 16 men’s curling teams were invited to participate in this curling event. Team Canada’s Jennifer Jones and Brad Gushue are still planning to go to
the Olympic Games in February. “We had a good response from the top teams from around the world. All of the top 16 women’s and 16 men’s teams were planning to come to Camrose. Hopefully next year we can host this event without restrictions,” said Ken. The Olympic curling competition will conclude with the women’s gold-medal match on Feb. 20. The Olympic women’s and men’s curling fields start with the six highest-ranked teams from the respective 2021 world championships, according to World Curling. China, as the host nation, will automatically qualify even if it isn’t ranked in the top six. The women’s team consists of Jones, Dawn McEwen, Jocelyn Peterman and Kaitlyn Lawes. Gushue’s men’s squad consists of the skip Geoff Walker, Brett Gallant and Mark Nichols. Any fan who has purchased tickets or passes to the 2022 Meridian Open will receive details on the refund process. “We are hoping that people will be keeping their tickets for next year. We are anticipating a 10 to 15 per cent increase in the cost of tickets next year, so it is beneficial for people to keep them because they purchased them at a good rate,” added Ken.

DEADHEAD DARK Valuable CHOCOLATE RUM COUPON Single blended, 5-year-old rum, infused with organic cacao has the essence of coffee and butterscotch on the nose. The echo of dark chocolate is restrained but solidly present in the bouquet. Decadent dark chocolate flavour comes to the forefront on the first sip, layered with a back note of Bing cherry and cream soda.
