\nA Senior Women’s curling tour to the Eastern US is bein g organized by Curling Canada and is planned for November 2021. The decision to hold or postpone will be made in June 2 021. Anyone who applies and is chosen for the 2021 dates will go if it is postponed to 2022. The deadline for applications is April 30th\, 2021.
\nBackground:
\nSince 1990 groups of women from both countries have travelled to take part in friendly competition. In 201 8 a USA group visited Atlantic Canada. In 2021 the plan is to have curlers from the Atlantic provinces visit and play in the Eastern USA.
\nMore:
Curling Canada has accepted an invitation fro
m the US Women’s Curling Association for 16
\nCanadian senior women (
50 years of age and older) to visit the Eastern United States for a 12-day
\ncurling tour in November 2021. Understanding it may become necessa
ry to reschedule the tour to
\n2022 due to pandemic travel restrictio
ns\, it has been decided to continue with participant selection
\nand
planning at this time.
Currently\, the estimated cost of this tou
r is $4\,000 per person. This amount will cover the cost of
\nair tra
vel\, ground transportation\, hotel accommodations\, official uniform and
other associated
\ncosts. This amount may change due to fluctuations
in currency.
Having hosted the last tour of US Women to Canada\, f emale curlers from the four Atlantic provinces of Newfoundland and Labrado r\, Nova Scotia\, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick are eligible to p articipate in this Tour. Representation from each of the 4 provinces will be a criterion used in the selection process. Should additional selections be required to fill the team quota following the deadline date for applic ations (April 30)\, the Tour Coordinator appointed by Curling Canada reser ves the right to fill positions regardless of candidate’s home location. p>\n
It is important to note that the curling on this trip will be exten
sive with an eight-end game being
\nplayed daily.
