Gord McNabb, the event manager for the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier from Canadian Curling is excited about the event. “Kamloops has a history of hosting events of all sorts.

comments Jim who first took up curling back when he was seven at the Memorial Arena. This Kamloops born curler will be sure to get the crowds cheering. “We encourage people to have signs, flags and cowbells. There are building and our own restrictions but we want everyone to have a good time, but be responsible,” says Gord. Team
