Extra funding for Prince Edward Island’s KidSport program is boosting demand from families interested in having their children participate in sport programs.
“Our last budget made more funds available for KidSport participants while allowing more families to participate. As a result, we are seeing an upswing in interest, As we cheer on and support Team PEI in the Canada Games, it is a great reminder of the positive benefits of participating in sports and staying active, especially for young Islanders.”
– Health and Wellness Minister Ernie Hudson
PEI allocated an additional $200,000 to KidSport in its last budget in order to expand the eligibility criteria to support more young Islanders to participate in sports activities across the Island. The program now provides up to $600 per child for households with annual household income of $60,000 or less per year.
Since April 1, 2022, KidSport has received over 320 applications, with the busiest time to receive applications yet to come as families apply for the fall sport programs such as hockey, ringette, figure skating, speed skating, curling, and skiing. Participants in these programs normally send in applications beginning in late August running through to December. In previous years, KidSport received between 300 and 375 applications for support over the entire year. Island families who meet the eligibility criteria are encouraged to submit their application as soon as possible for Fall programs.
“We are extremely grateful for the support from the Province of PEI,” said Tom Crowell, president of Sport PEI. “These funds will make a difference to families across Prince Edward Island in ensuring their children have the opportunity to participate in sport.”
Interested families can apply for KidSport support at https://kidsportcanada.ca/
The president of the West Prince Curling Inc. hopes interest in the sport will increase when a new curling club is constructed at Mill River Resort in Woodstock.
“We think it’s going to greatly renew the interest in curling, and we’ll get a lot of people back that used to curl and are no longer curling,” said Clair Sweet. “Plus, with the association with Mill River, we should be able to bring more people in that would make a weekend of curling, and whatever else is offered at Mill River.”
The new West Prince Curling Club is set to go up on the grounds of Mill River Resort, combining the membership of the Western Curling Club in Alberton, and the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O’Leary. The clubs first discussed merging in 2020, due to dwindling numbers in each club, and the cost to maintain their respective buildings.

In early July, the Government of Canada, in partnership with the Government of PEI, announced over $4 million in funding of the new curling facility in West Prince. The project is estimated to cost $5.7 million.
The new club is made up of members from the Western Curling Club in Alberton, and the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O’Leary.
The building itself will consist of a 21,116 square foot, four sheet curling facility, reducing maintenance costs, making it easier to gather for curling matches and recreation.
The new club won’t be complete in time for this upcoming curling season, but the hope is it will be done for the next season.

WEST PRINCE, PE, June 29, 2022 /CNW/ – Today, Bobby Morrissey, Member of Parliament for Egmont, on behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities; the Honourable James Aylward, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, and Clair Sweet of the West Prince Curling Club, announced funding for the construction of a new curling facility in West Prince, Prince Edward Island.
This is a sketch of what the new, curling club proposed for Mill River will look like. (West Prince Curling Inc.)
Funding will support the construction of a new 21,116 square foot, four sheet curling facility including washrooms, lockers, kitchen facilities, a clubhouse, administration space and storage. The new facility will be constructed in a more central location, allowing two existing curling facilities in nearby O’Leary and Alberton to merge.
The new curling centre will benefit curling enthusiasts and residents alike by improving recreational activities, reducing maintenance costs, and making it more efficient to gather for recreational purposes and curling matches in one improved location instead of two.
The Government of Canada is investing over $2.3 million in this project. The Government of Prince Edward Island is contributing more than $1.9 million to this project, while West Prince Curling Club Inc. is investing over $1.5 million.
“Recreation and sports are essential for building strong and connected communities. Islanders and competitors from across Canada will soon benefit from the new West Prince curling facility which will be a valuable asset and a key piece of infrastructure that will serve the community for many years to come.”
Bobby Morrissey, Member of Parliament for Egmont, on behalf of the Honourable Dominic LeBlanc, Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities
“Sport and recreation infrastructure bring a sense of belonging among our entire community. A new, modern facility centrally located in Mill River will improve access to and increase the quality of recreational community infrastructure in West Prince.”
The Honourable James Aylward, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure
“This is a great story of community as two curling clubs in need of a new home have been welcomed to a central location at Mill River Resort with land donated by the resort. This well-designed, modern club will be open to curling and other recreation activities in West Prince. Thanks to the Governments of Canada and Prince Edward Island for providing funding to make this possible.”
Clair Sweet, President, West Prince Curling Club

Curling Canada’s newest championship, the PointsBet Invitational, will feature new teams, an exciting new format and new ways to be entertained.
The inaugural PointsBet Invitational will be played Sept. 21-25 at Willie O’Ree Place in Fredericton, N.B., and will bring together Canada’s best men’s and women’s curling teams for the first major event of the 2022-23 curling season, and the first event of the quadrennial that leads to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
Not only will it be the first opportunity to see many new teams that were formed during this off-season, but it will also be a chance to see a format new to Curling Canada’s Season of Champions that will feature 16 men’s and 16 women’s teams compete in a single-knockout tournament offering a purse in excess of $350,000.
“The drama and emotion of a single-knockout bracket tournament is well-chronicled in sports such as tennis and the NCAA basketball championships, and we expect our new event to bring that kind of passion and excitement to curling,” said Katherine Henderson, Chief Executive Officer of Curling Canada. “It’s also a chance for us to showcase our partnership with PointsBet, and, happily, finally bring a major championship to Fredericton after a couple of disappointing years of cancellations due to the pandemic.”
The PointsBet Invitational will be the first curling event sponsored by PointsBet Canada, the official Sports Betting Partner of Curling Canada.
“Since Day 1 of our partnership with Curling Canada, we have made it a priority to offer new and exciting ways for fans to connect with the sport we all love,” said Nic Sulsky, Chief Commercial Officer for PointsBet Canada. “Whether it is the Trailer Park Boys throwing rocks with national champions Kevin Koe and Kerri Einarson, or events like the PointsBet Invitational, we are committed to working with Curling Canada to excite the existing supporters but to also attract the next generation of fans.”
Fredericton had been announced as the host of the 2020 Home Hardware Canada Cup and 2022 Continental Cup, but both events were cancelled because of the pandemic.
“It is truly an honour to host the inaugural PointsBet Invitational,” said Host Committee Chair Wayne Tallon. “After having had two events cancelled due to COVID we are looking forward to the opportunity to host this event. For our fans and volunteers it will be exciting for them to watch all the new teams compete in their first big event. We look forward to working with the City of Fredericton, Curling Canada and the title sponsor PointsBet to roll out the red carpet for the players, coaches and fans.”
The full fields will be announced at a later date, but tentatively, the 16 teams in each gender will comprise the top 12 ranked teams on the revamped World Curling Team Ranking System; the reigning women’s (Nova Scotia’s Team Emily Deschenes) and men’s (Ontario’s Team Landan Rooney) champions at the New Holland Canadian Juniors; and the reigning women’s (Team Tracy Larocque) and men’s (Nova Scotia’s Team Nick Deagle) champions at the Everest Canadian Curling Club Championships; host committee-selected men’s (Team Jack Smeltzer) and women’s teams (Team Andrea Kelly) from Fredericton; and a men’s and women’s sponsor’s exemption entry.
All 32 competing teams will receive $5,000 to cover travel and accommodation costs, and teams will earn more money for each successive win in the single-knockout tournament — $3,000 for a first-round win, $6,000 for a quarterfinal win, $12,000 for a semifinal win and $24,000 to the victorious women’s and men’s teams, meaning the two winning teams will each collect a total of $50,000.
In addition to watching Canada’s best teams compete in a high-stakes championship, fans will have many other ways to enjoy the inaugural PointsBet Invitational.
The Patch will be set up at Willie O’Ree Place, with live entertainment throughout the event.
Additionally, on the Friday night, following the “Elite Eight” rounds in both genders, there will be a Celebrity Invitational event featuring numerous Canadian celebrities participating with elite curlers in exhibition games.
With only around 1,000 seats available in the initial ticket offering, it’s expected that New Brunswick curling fans will snap them up quickly.
The full-event package will sell for $249 and will guarantee a single ticket and seat selection for all 10 draws of the 2022 PointsBet Invitational. The package will also include a bonus ticket for admission to the Friday night Celebrity Invitational and party in the Patch. All ticket purchases are subject to standard ticket service fees.
Curling fans who had purchased tickets to the canceled 2022 Continental Cup will receive an email and be provided the first chance at the best seats in the house through an exclusive advanced sales window from June 22 to 27. Starting Tuesday, June 28, at 10 a.m. AT, full-event ticket packages will be available to the public online via Ticketmaster, in-person at the Capital Winter Club or by phone at 506 452-0020.
Customers are encouraged to sign up for Curling Canada’s e-newsletter at curling.ca to receive ongoing ticket information.
Volunteer and entertainment information will be made available in the coming weeks.
“We’re thrilled to see the PointsBet Invitational make its debut in New Brunswick,” said Bernard Savoie, president of the New Brunswick Curling Association. “We’re also very happy to see Fredericton finally get its opportunity to host a major curling championship after the disappointments of the past two seasons.”
Broadcast plans will be announced at a later date.

Curling Canada is launching a new annual monetary awards program for junior curlers growing the sport in meaningful and inclusive ways.
The All Heart Junior Curlers Awards is for young Canadians who embody the values of curling by placing the highest priorities on fair play, respect, and inclusivity and who care passionately about diverse representation of the Canada-wide curling community. The award aims to give the next generation of builders the support needed to create a more empowered sporting community.
“Celebrating inclusion in our sport is so important. I’m excited to see this award move forward because I know some fantastic young people are doing incredible things. Now, their hard work will be highlighted through the All Heart Junior Curlers Awards,” said Andrew Paris, member of the All Heart Junior Curler Awards selection panel [and a former Summerside PEI resident/curler].
Paris is the founder of the grassroots organization Black Rock Initiative and embodies the spirit of the All Heart Junior Curler Awards. His organization is creating opportunities for BIPOC youth to learn about and play the sport of curling and aims to provide curling facilities with the support and tools needed to be truly welcoming and offer diverse resources in their communities.
Through Curling Canada’s For the Love of Curling philanthropic program, $20,000 will be invested annually into deserving junior curlers who are building the sport in their communities by advancing their personal curling goals and developing programs focused on building a more diverse and inclusive sport.
Eight individuals will receive a $2,500 award, allocated as a $1,000 curling-related personal expense reimbursement and $1,500 contribution payable to their curling facility, to make those goals a reality, and they will be dispersed across the country, so every region feels the impact of the All Heart Junior Curling Awards.
Two individuals in each the West (British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Alberta), Prairies (Saskatchewan, Manitoba), East (Northern Ontario, Ontario, Nunavut and Quebec), and Atlantic (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland & Labrador) will receive awards to make those goals a reality.
This program complements the For the Love of Curling Scholarship program, which plays an active role in supporting the next generation of curlers who best demonstrate athletic and academic prowess and community leadership and volunteerism.
Karsten Sturmay, a former For the Love of Curling Scholar, and a member of the scholarship selection panel for five consecutive years (2017-2021), was instrumental in the creation of the new All Heart Junior Curler Award.
Sturmay, who will join Paris on the inaugural All Heart Junior Curler Award selection panel, recognizes the curling community is chock-full of inspiring young leaders who will make exceptional guardians of our sport.
The All Heart Junior Curler Awards application deadline is July 31. Full application details and program information can be found here.
