ALBERTON — Draw 1 of the P.E.I. Provincial men’s and women’s curling championships is in the books at Alberton’s Western Community Curling Club, but weather and road conditions have caused some jigging of the schedule for the rest of Wednesday. Organizers have postponed the 2 p.m. draw until 5 p.m., and the 7 p.m. draw has been shifted to 9 p.m. Opening ceremonies have been cancelled.
