The Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling has delayed the start of its season due to the ongoing risks of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sportsnet, which has owned and operated the series since 2012, announced Wednesday the first four events of the calendar that were scheduled for the fall and winter have been postponed. The revised Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling season will consist of the Princess Auto Players’ Championship, April 13-18, 2021, at Ryerson’s Mattamy Athletic Centre in Toronto and the Humpty’s Champions Cup, April 27 to May 2, 2021, at the Olds Sportsplex in Olds, Alta.
Online registration is available for the WCF World Team Rankings, used by the Grand Slams and CTRS and other National Ranking Systems.
Commencing in the 2020-21 season, Seeding for the Curl PEI Provincial Women’s (Scotties Tournament of Hearts) and Men’s (Tankard) Curling Championships will be determined by the current year’s CTRS points. Teams without CTRS points will be seeded below those with CTRS points and will be drawn at random to determine ranking.
This was approved as part of the Rules of Play in December 2019.
Many Tour events are also now open for entry.

The return to play guidelines that will shape the upcoming 2020-21 curling season are now available, it was announced Monday by Curling Canada.
The documents, designed by Curling Canada and in consultation with Member Associations, curling centre managers and medical professionals, are designed to guide the Canadian curling community through the upcoming season as it relates to COVID-19 in Canada. The guidelines cover topics such as gameplay, building cleanliness, food & beverage, customer awareness, financial planning, insurance and national championships.
“Curling will look a bit different this upcoming season, but we’re pleased to announce there’s still a way to play while also ensuring that the safety of curlers remains a top priority,” said Danny Lamoureux, Curling Canada’s director of curling club development and championship services.
The most notable changes to play this season involve the use of one sweeper during games, no sweeping an opposition’s stone behind the tee-line and new markings on ice for the non-throwing team to be stationed.
The health and well-being of curlers, fans and high-performance athletes is Curling Canada’s top commitment and the guidelines can be customized in each jurisdiction in order to cooperate with federal, provincial, territorial and municipal government health authorities that must be followed.
Provincial curling associations and local curling facilities will be following these guidelines and adapting them to their local circumstances and provincial requirements in order to ensure a safe return to play for the sport of curling.
Kensington Mayor Rowan Caseley presents the town’s citizen of the year award to Marlene Turner and the youth of the year award to Lauren Ferguson. The presentations took place during Canada Day celebrations on Wednesday morning. – Jason Simmonds
The Town of Kensington’s citizen of the year award carries extra significance for Marlene Turner.
The 2020 recipient has followed in the footsteps of her late father, Garnett Turner, who was named Kensington’s 2009 citizen of the year.
Lauren Ferguson was announced as the youth of the year. Ferguson said it was an unexpected honour to receive the award while adding it feels great to be recognized.
“We have a great little spot that we live in here and it definitely means a lot,” said Ferguson.
Ferguson was the recipient of the Governor’s General academic medal with the 2020 graduating class at Kensington Intermediate-Senior High School. She was praised for her athletic achievements, including winning eight provincial curling championships. She will begin studying engineering at Dalhousie University in Halifax in September and will continue her competitive curling career as third stone with the Taylor Stevens-skipped rink in Nova Scotia.
“Overall, (Lauren is) a great example of a youth with good character and citizenship,” said Caseley.
The 17-year-old daughter of Blair and Lisa Ferguson of Spring Valley said she has nothing but fond memories of living in the Kensington area.
“The way the community is involved and the way it stands behind everything and its members is something really special,” said Ferguson.
Team Smith, skipped by Veronica Smith will have a new little cheerleader next season. They would like to congratulate team member Whitney Jenkins and Dylan as they prepare to welcome the next generation of curling. Whitney will be stepping away from the game for the season to spend much needed time with her little one, and they wish her all the best.
Clockwise from top left: Veronica Smith, Sabrina Smith, Katie Fullerton, Emily Gray
They are thrilled to welcome Katie Fullerton to the team. Katie has curled with Veronica and Sabrina in junior play and after taking some time away to focus on studies they are excited to have her back.

As the curling world copes with the COVID-19 pandemic, messages of hope and resilience are being sent by young athletes around the world.
And that will be one of the central themes of Curling Canada’s 2020 For the Love of Curling scholarship program, which began taking applications May 1st.
The program will award 10 $2,500 scholarships to male and female curlers in Canada who best demonstrate athletic and academic prowess as well as community leadership.
Ten players at the 2020 New Holland Canadian Juniors were past recipients of the For the Love of Curling Scholarship.

(Photo, Curling Canada/Michael Burns)
As part of the application, the young athletes are asked to write a two-page essay, and this year’s theme will focus on the COVID-19 outbreak. The essay should reflect “on how you, your teammates and your curling community were impacted by the 2020 Coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak. During these challenging times of social and physical distancing, event cancellations and the curling season suspending early, where are you finding inspiration, strength and positivity, and how are you role-modelling these same attributes for those around you?”
Emphasis will be placed on athletes who have competed at the provincial/territorial level or higher, who have maintained a good level of academic standing, while showing a strong commitment to their community through involvement in coaching, instructing and volunteer activities. Athletes must be under the age of 24 as of Dec. 31, 2020, and not have received the For the Love of Curling Scholarship previously.
“Young athletes can provide such inspiration and hope, and we’re extremely proud that our scholarship program plays a valuable role in helping these athletes,” said John Shea, Chair of the Curling Canada Board of Governors. “We know curling will return, we know fans and athletes alike will embrace that return, and we also know this year’s scholarship recipients will be future leaders in our communities who will inspire others to be better.”
At the 2020 New Holland Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Langley, B.C., there were 10 former recipients of the For The Love of Curling Scholarship, including all four members of the 2020 Canadian and world junior women’s championship team: Mackenzie Zacharias, Emily Zacharias, Karlee Burgess and PEI’s Lauren Lenentine.
The application process runs from May 1 to June 30, 2020. Scholarships will be awarded in August.
On behalf of the Curl PEI executive and staff, I would like to thank everyone who participated in our recent Curl PEI Member Survey. The response rate was quite strong with 155 people completing the survey. We are excited to share the results with you; a copy of the report/data is located below.
We are planning to establish a 5 – 7 member working committee to study the survey results for the purpose of influencing the policy direction and approaches for the 2021-2022 curling season. Our rationale for this includes:
o Pandemic environment: With so much uncertainty due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we are unsure of the policy changes and/or operational guidelines that will be required to operate during the 2020-2021 curling season. We will need to have the time and capacity to be able to address all requirements to help ensure the curling clubs and our own events operate as allowed next season.
o Lead time for change: While the survey results will be valuable as we plan for the future of curling in PEI, many plans, decisions and commitments are already in place for the upcoming 2020-2021 season. The approval process, for both policy and operations, can be time-consuming exercises.
o Thoughtful use of the survey results will require time: Input for some responses does not provide clear direction; therefore, the right change to make is not obvious. For example, 34.19% said Curl PEI should follow the same residency policy as Curling Canada; 34.84% said we should not follow Curling Canada; and 15.48% said no preference.
If you have an interest in being a part of the survey working committee, please let us know. We will be reaching out to those who provided their contact information and/or expressed an interest in further discussion on the residency policy.
Again, thank you for your time and thoughtful feedback; please feel free to contact us if you have any comments, questions or wish to become involved.
We look forward to working with you to help our sport grow and thrive in PEI.
Have a wonderful day.
Sandy Matheson
President, Curl PEI

Alison Griffin
Alison’s experience in sport, recreation and communication will be an asset to PEIGA that will allow the association to continue serving members and facilities while growing the sport of golf.
“I am very excited to be joining PEIGA in the ED role, I thank the Board of Directors for this opportunity,” said Griffin. “My predecessor implemented a variety of programs and built positive relationships with members, operators, and partners and I look forward to contributing to the exceptional reputation PEIGA has provincially and nationally.
Alison is originally from O’Leary, PEI, and has a diploma in Sport and Recreation Management from Holland College. She was the Executive Director for the Western Region Sport and Recreation Council from 2011-2017 and most recently, the Manager of Communications for the Department of Health with the Government of Nunavut in Iqaluit. Alison also served on the Canada Games Mission Staff for Team PEI in 2015 and 2017 and managed the Team Nunavut Youth Ambassador Program for Arctic Winter Games in 2018 and Canada Games in 2019.
The death occurred peacefully at Andrews of Summerside, PE, on Monday, May 4, 2020, of Robert “Bob” Williams, of Summerside, PE, aged 87 years. Bob was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Navy, having enlisted February 20, 1951, and honorably discharged April 17, 1976. Bob was a Korean War Veteran and was awarded the UNITED NATIONS KOREAN CANADIAN FORCES DECORATION IN 1954 while serving on HMCS HAIDA. Upon retirement from the Navy in Halifax, Bob pursued other careers which led him to be a repair technician for Hughes-Owens, a Commissionaire for Volvo in Halifax, and after settling on the Island, a Commissionaire for Summerside Royal Canadian Legion. Bob retired from the Commissionaires and settled in to life in Summerside.
One of his great pastimes was being a life member of The Silver Fox Curling & Yacht Club where he spent many years volunteering on various events. His best Silver Fox memories though were of his grandchildren curling. “Poppy” spent many weekends sitting behind the glass watching tournament games and being quite vocal over shots, whether good or bad. But above all else, he was especially proud of being just “Poppy” to all. His grandchildren adored him and will forever cherish his handwritten little notes, his sage advice, and his unconditional love.
Predeceased by parents Henry and Ethyl (McDevitt) Williams of Saint John, NB; brothers Donnie, Ronnie, Georgie, Gerry; and by sisters Clara, Marie and Sandra. Left to mourn are his children Sheila (Gerry) vanOuwerkerk, Summerside, PE; Kimberly (Douglas) Beauregard, Kent Island, Chester Maryland, USA; Dale (Kimberly) Williams, Middle Sackville, NS; and Wayne Williams, Miramichi, NB; dearly loved grandchildren Steve, Nick, Jess, Amanda, Alicia, Samantha, Andy, Jillian, Alex, and Liam; beautiful great-grandchildren Layla, Evan, Colton, Bennett, Peyton, Ashton, and Rhett; dear lifelong friend of 65 years Blanche Williams, Dartmouth, NS; brothers Buddy, BC; Freddy, ON; and Johnny, NB; sister Theresa, NB; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was always so grateful for the care and compassion of PCH nurses, the Home Care nurses, and Dr. Moyse. The family would also like to thank the excellent care he received from Andrews of Summerside and Dr. Hal McRae. Resting at the Moase Funeral Home, Summerside, PE. Celebration of Life will be announced later. Memorial donations to the Poppy Fund at your local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion would be appreciated. http://www.moase.ca/obituaries/146189
