Return to Play Information

Our Member Associations - CurlON and NOCA have been busy communicating with member clubs about Covid-19 restrictions and Return to Play Guidelines.  The Ontario Curling Council has been acting as a conduit between clubs and the Ministry of Heritage, Sport , Tourism and Culture Industries including sitting on Ministry advisory panels, advocacy groups.  Clubs that have questions about the Ministry’s Return to Play Restrictions/Guidelines are encouraged to ask those questions of CurlON and NOCA so that we can forward them to our Ministry consultant and keep a record of those clarifications for all clubs.

We’re Asking You

In each newsletter, we’ll be asking a question of you!  We’ll select answers and include them in our next newsletter! Our question from the August Newsletter:

How does your club support competitive curlers from your club, be it juniors or adults?  What thoughts and suggestions can you share? 

Here’s what you had to say!

From Bobby R. - North Bay Granite Club

We offer a Competitive League at an additional entry fee used to pay out the top performing teams.

We pay out a set fee per player to any junior that wins a provincial championship (to be used towards attending nationals).

We allow and co-promote any fundraising activities initiated by the competitive curler or team (silent auction, 50-50, spaghetti dinner, etc.).

We'll champion a Go Fund Me campaign (or equivalent) on behalf of the team (the last one was good for $800).

We offer a 30% discount on pro shop items if they wear our logo on their uniform.

Thanks Bobby!!
 

This month, our question is:

What is your suggested name for our new newsletter?  Let’s call it a contest!  There’s no prize, except you get to brag that you named our newsletter!  We’ll take your suggestions and announce the winner with the October newsletter.
