Cornwall introducing Newcomers to Canada to the sport of curling

The Cornwall Curling Club is, as they did a year ago, inviting our newest Islanders, with the help of the PEI Association for Newcomers to Canada (PEIANC), and a grant from the Province of PEI and the Government of Canada to help pay for staff and ice time, to come out and try the very Canadian sport of curling, from 6-8 pm on three consecutive Sunday evenings:Sunday, January 24 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Sunday, January 31 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Sunday, February 7 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm
Curlers will also receive complimentary hot chocolate and cookies. Volunteer instructors will be on hand introduce them to the sport of curling.

The new curlers are invited to come out any or all nights, if space is available.

Some of the curlers will have a “match”, or local volunteer with them to help ease any language barriers and PEIANC staff will be there to help, too.

Newcomers who are interested in taking part are asked to send in your names to:
