Rob Swan comes from a small community in rural New Brunswick called Harvey Station, where they have been lucky for the past 53 year to have a small curling club. As of late the club is starting to show her age. so for the 2014/2015 curling season it is Rob’s mission to raise money to start renovations to update the club so that it can weather the future in a better position. Planned renos include redoing the washrooms, reinsulating the ice house, putting a brand new base under the ice, and installing a new steel roof.
Rob is currently in the process of curling 100 games in 100 different clubs across Canada, and will be here on PEI this Wednesday and Thursday (Dec. 17-18).
Here is his tentative schedule (info is from his Facebook page and is subject to change). Contact each club to confirm exact times.
