Growing the Game Together – FanFest Momentum & Club Opportunities
FanFest activities this past month proved how powerful the Olympic spotlight can be. Three Calgary-area
clubs hosted Try Curling sessions, and all four sessions drew over 25 participants each, showing just how strong the demand is for newcomers wanting to get on the ice.
This surge in interest is a huge opportunity for clubs. Curling Alberta is seeing a high-demand for Try Curling events and Greenhorn Leagues. You can turn Olympic excitement into new members and thriving programs. Curling Canada is also supporting the promotion of these events leading up to the World
Women’s Curling Championships, giving clubs even more visibility.
Add your event information here: Discover Curling Near You – Programs & Leagues!
Or email Britney Anderson at [email protected] to have your events promoted.
Let’s keep the momentum going and welcome new curlers into our clubs!
