Curling Season Cancelled

As I am sure most of you know by now, the curling season has been cut short once again. Island Health has again taken over the curling rink for use as a vaccination clinic site, and the ice has already been removed. While this is extremely disappointing, it is not entirely unexpected given the recent changes in COVID infection rates.

Anybody interested in continuing to curl this year may look to the Victoria Curling Club (https://victoriacurlingclub.com) or the Kerry Park Curling Centre (https://kerryparkcurlingcentre.ca) although we don't yet know what the spring session brings for them, either.

I would like to thank everybody who had a hand in getting us this far. In particular, Karen Hoban (our club secretary) and Al Teasdale (our vice president) have been tireless in making sure we have been where we need to be with dealing with the pandemic. Similarly, our executive and our board of directors have been absolutely amazing. Thank you all so much for the work you have put in. This season's closure is through no fault of our own; it's simply how things played out.

I would also like to thank, once again, our members: for being so understanding of the various rules and restrictions we have had to put into place. Believe me, we did not want to. But you all made it so much easier with your co-operation. Thank you.

Looking forward to a full year next year, with any luck. Until then, I wish you all the best, have a great holiday, and I hope to see you back on the ice next September!
