Financial Assistance
We want everyone to have the opportunity to curl, so Curling With Pride will provide up to 2 full membership fees to be covered by the league. This will be given to members who demonstrate a need for financial assistance in order to curl and will be provided confidentially. Requests will only be reviewed by the league president, vice president and one other board member. Please email Lars Erickson directly at larserikerickson@gmail.com by August 31 with a short explanation of why you should be eligible for financial assistance.
Canadian Gay Curling Championship
The Canadian Gay Curling Championships are being held in Vancouver in conjunction with the Pac Rim Cup on January 23-26, 2020. In order to represent Curling with Pride, registration for playoffs will be due by October 25 with a play-down tournament on November 16. The team representing Curling With Pride will be provided with jackets and $300 per individual to cover travel expenses. Depending on interest and spots available in the National’s bonspiel, we may be able to send 2 teams from Edmonton.
We look forward to seeing you all back at the rink this fall!
