The Under-18 Curling Canada Championships are now underway in Sherwood Park. Alberta, and Kimberley is represented on the girls’ side with Team Buchy, featuring Kimberley’s Kaila Buchy and Arissa Toffolo, along with third Katelyn McGillivray from Kelowna and Fort St John second Hannah Lindner.
All draws will be live-streamed on Curling Canada’s Youtube page, found here
“We are all super excited for the Nationals,” said Buchy. “We have no curling ice [at home] right now so we can’t throw until we get there, but we’ll be keeping up with off-ice training; staying in shape, eating well, that sort-of thing.”
She adds that Team Buchy is looking forward to representing Kimberley on a National level.
“We really want to thank the community, all of Kimberley for supporting us and our curling,” she said.
“A special thanks to all of our supporters; Frank Vanden-Broek of Sunlife Financial, Ivar Larson of I. Larson Consulting, timber Hitch, Ken Stroud of Assante Wealth Management, Kimberley Curling Club and all it’s members, Kimberley Elks Club, Sport Chek – Cranbrook, Kootenay Curling Association of Curl B.C., Rob Ferguson and The Fort St. John Curling Club.”
