Curling Canada is thrilled to announce the winners of the contests associated with the 2021 Curling Day in Canada—a day of celebrating our sport and sporting community, which could not have been better received by the thousands of participants and spectators across the country.
The Canada-wide curling community enthusiastically tuned into the one-hour special, produced and aired by TSN/Bell Media, we received more than 800 unique submissions of stories, scores and photos, with another 11,000 votes cast to select the top individual story submission, and the following prizes were awarded:
- All-expenses-paid closing weekend trip to the 2022 Tim Hortons Brier in Lethbridge, AB. – Shirley Henry of Dieppe, N.B.
- $10,000 Club Renovation Grant – Weyburn Curling Club, Weyburn SK., winning ballot entry from Ken Kopeck of Weyburn, SK.
- Curling Day in Canada fan package & tabletop curling game – Hannah Rude of Calgary, AB.
The real winner is the next generation of curlers. Not only will our youngest athletes proudly be a part of all future Curling Day in Canada celebrations, but they will also benefit from the generous support of the curling community that collectively raised $14,276, to be invested directly back into youth curling program development.
With great appreciation to every curler and curling enthusiast that participated in the nationwide celebration, Curling Canada is already looking forward to a repeat performance for the 2022 Curling Day in Canada.
Thank you for joining the 2021 Curling Day in Canada celebrations!
