Local curling team qualifies for provincials

This winter, Covid 19 restrictions have greatly limited any competitions for curlers to participate in, but a team from the Sun Parlour Curling Club has beaten the odds and won.

On February 19-20, Team Rickeard – consisting of Krista Rickeard, Kim Newman, Jen Nugent and Janan Alles – from the Sun Parlour Curling Club competed in the Senior Ladies qualifying round in Ingersoll. The ladies lost their first game but came back to win the next two.
