Curlers from across Canada are set to visit Digby, N.S., in April for a tournament hosted by former world champion Randy Ferbey.
Ferbey was in Halifax Monday to announce the Everest-Ferbey National Pro Am. It will be the second year for the tournament. Last year it was held in Edmonton.

Ferbey says it was important to him to start an event that is just for curlers who are over 50 years old.
“We felt the seniors were sort of getting a little unrecognized,” he said. “They’re the ones that support the clubs across Canada, we believe. So we wanted to give something back to them.”
The Pro Am will be held at the same time as the Canadian Senior Curling Championships.
