This year’s inductees – Rebecca Jean (MacPhee) MacDonald, Tricia MacGregor, Norman MacNeill and Angela (Roberts) Smith – were inducted in the curler category.
“It’s an honour because you are joining an elite group of curlers, some I have played with and some who have been mentors over the years,” MacDonald told The Guardian in a phone interview.
“To be put in that class with them is pretty special.”
