Due to the Circuit Breaker announced Saturday, the Cornwall Curling Club has cancelled all curling on Sunday, Feb. 28, except for 3:15 to 6 pm Members practice. The Return to Play Committee is meeting Sunday to discuss further action, and an announcement is expected by Sunday evening.
Because of the new cases, Dr. Morrison and the PEI Government have announced another Circuit Breaker. There will be no curling games until March 14th. Practices will be allowed — please contact the club to schedule your practice.
As the 2021 U13 Provincial Curling Championship and the Youth Jamboree both fall within the Circuit Breaker period announced this afternoon by the PEI Government, these events will be cancelled. Curl PEI will be in touch with refund details early next week.
The PEI Government announced Circuit Breaker measures today, effective at 8 am Sunday and going until March 14 (end date may be earlier or later depending on progress). A number of these measures will impact PEI curling facilities and Curl PEI Events.
These time-limited interventions are being put into place in order to get control of the situation at hand and break the chain of transmission of COVID-19. The measures will be reassessed throughout.
These restrictions override all other existing sector-specific public health guidance.
Measures in brief:
Personal gatherings – up to 10 in your home in addition to those who live there
Organized gatherings – limit of 50, in a facility with an operational plan
Gyms, fitness facilities, museums, libraries, etc. – up to 50% capacity, must ensure physical distancing
Restaurants, pubs, etc. – take-out and delivery only
Retail, markets, craft fairs – up to 50% capacity, must ensure physical distancing
Sports – individual and team practices OK within gathering limit and organizational plan, no games.
No change to Long-term care – up to 3 partners in care, limited visitors
At all times, public health protocols must be followed (masks, hand sanitizing, physical distancing).

Even though everyone will be playing outdoors and with appropriate social distancing, curlers are encouraged to wear a mask during the event.
The weather for Sunday isn’t looking great so they are going with a one-day event on Saturday only from 10-5. Anyone who had expressed interest in dropping by on Sunday is welcome to join them on Saturday. No cost to participate and the event, from 10 am to 5 pm is open to all ages and abilities.
As well as fun teams, they are also looking for anyone interested in trying curling to drop by!

Out of an abundance of caution, Curl PEI is cancelling both the Provincial Under 16 Curling Championships in Crapaud and the Provincial Mixed Curling Championship in Montague. Both events were scheduled to get underway on Friday.
We are very sorry, but we have made the decision to postpone our weekend spiel to honour our dear friend Leo Stewart.
Based on the present situation in the Summerside area, and the possibility of more news to come, we will tentatively re-book this event for the weekend of March 19-20.
We appreciate the number of people who signed up and wanted to help us remember and celebrate Leo.
Be safe out there.

P.E.I.’s Suzanne Birt rink has not qualified for the championship pool at the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Calgary.
Team Birt dropped a 9-5 decision to British Columbia’s Corryn Brown in the final draw of the round-robin schedule Thursday night. The result left both teams with records of 4-4 (won-lost).
P.E.I. third Marie Christianson and second Meaghan Hughes sweep a rock at the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Calgary. P.E.I., which completed round-robin play 4-4 (won-lost), will not advance to the championship pool. – Andrew Klaver/Curling Canada
A win by the Birt rink, which lists Montague and Cornwall as its home clubs, would have guaranteed the P.E.I. representative at least a spot in a tiebreaker on Friday morning. The 18 teams comprise two nine-team pools and the top four at the end of round-robin play advance at the Canadian women’s curling championship.
Update: the weather is looking great for Saturday’s Curling Day in Stratford! Town staff will be applying a final flood on Friday morning prior to the rings and hacks being installed.
The weather for Sunday isn’t looking great so we will just be going with a one-day event on Saturday from 10-5. Anyone who had expressed interest in dropping by on Sunday is welcome to join us on Saturday. No cost to participate and the event is open to all ages and abilities.

The last 14 months have provided opportunities for Lauren Lenentine to realize some childhood dreams.
During this time, the 20-year-old New Dominion native has won Canadian and world junior curling championships. This week, she is playing in Canada’s premier women’s curling event – the Scotties Tournament of Hearts – in Calgary.

Her accomplishments were recognized on Wednesday night as Lenentine was named the 2020 recipient of the Lieutenant-Governor’s Award, presented to P.E.I.’s top all-around athlete.
“I’m so honoured to win this award,” Lenentine told The Guardian through a text message early Thursday morning. “The Island has so many talented athletes, so to be able to receive this award is such a great honour.”
Lenentine’s parents, Robbie and Jennifer Lenentine, and younger sister, Ella, represented her at the 47th annual Sport P.E.I. Amateur Sport Awards at the Confederation Centre in Charlottetown.
Jason Simmonds • The Guardian
Jennifer described it as a very prestigious award with a steep history.
“For Lauren to achieve this at such a young age, it’s quite an accomplishment, and we are quite proud of that,” she said.
Although Lauren was unable to attend the ceremony in person – she was on the ice playing a round-robin game in the Scotties at the time – a recorded video played of a conversation between her and Lt.-Gov. Antoinette Perry.

Move to Winnipeg
Lauren, who was also named the junior female athlete of the year, decided in 2019 to move to Winnipeg and join the Mackenzie Zacharias-skipped rink at the lead position. After winning the Manitoba provincial championship, the rink, which includes third Karlee Burgess of Truro, N.S., and second Emily Zacharias, won the Canadian junior title in Langley, B.C., in January 2020. Lauren was named the all-star lead.
Team Zacharias then donned the Team Canada uniform and won the world junior title in Krasnoyarsk, Russia, in February.
Lauren also won the 2018 world juniors as an alternate with Kaitlyn Jones-skipped Nova Scotia squad, which also included Burgess.
Inspiration
Inspired by well-known and accomplished P.E.I. curlers Kathy O’Rourke and Brett Gallant, Lauren started curling at age seven in 2007.
“I vividly remember watching Kathy play Jen Jones in the 2010 (Scotties) final, and I just thought that that was so cool,” said Lauren. “I had just started curling three years prior and was so excited to see a team from P.E.I. on TV at the Scotties.
“It definitely made me want to play there someday.
“Brett has always been a role model for me. He has had so much success and has inspired me to follow in his footsteps.”
Gallant, a three-time winner of the Lieutenant-Governor’s Award (2016, 2017 and 2019), was named the 2020 senior male athlete of the year.
Jennifer praised the tremendous support Lauren has received from Sport P.E.I., Curl P.E.I., the Cornwall Curling Club, its members and all of the province.
“The Cornwall Curling Club will always be her home club. She’s happy to be in Winnipeg living out her dreams.”
