Alumni Association News
On Saturday February 3rd, 2007, The University of Winnipeg Alumni Association celebrated winter with one of Canada’s favourite winter sports—curling. The third annual Curling Funspiel, held at the Heather Curling Club at 120 Youville Street, saw the participation of 22 players ranging from skilled veterans to complete novices.
"I'd never curled before, but the other players gave me a lot of tips to help get me started,” said Annette Elvers (BA (Hons.) '93). “It was really fun trying something new—I’d definitely come out again next year."
Alumni Council President Jason Pusiewich (BA ’98) emceed the event, and every participant received one of the many prizes donated by local companies. Each game consisted of two ends, with the first being played using traditional rules and the second played using “fun rules” making for some interesting scoring.
Shown above is the winning team: Mary Young (BA ’80), Colin Peterson (MST ’93), Bruce Faurschou (BA ’75), and Ron Hector (BA ’77, B.Ed. ’87).
