A P.E.I. curler will be heading to the World Junior Curling Championships in Scotland as an alternate for Team Canada.
“Wearing the Canadian flag on your back is something that you always dream of. And this is one way that I didn’t expect it to happen,” Lauren Lenentine told CBC’s Island Morning.
She skipped the province’s team at the recent Canadian Junior Curling Championships where it went 5-5.
Lenentine was asked if she wanted to be the alternate for the Nova Scotia team that would be representing Canada at the world championships.
“I’m just kind of there to support them, give them whatever they need and if anything was to happen, I am there to play.” said Lenentine
The world championships begin March 3 in Aberdeen, Scotland.
