On Saturday, March 15th the Tam Heather Women’s Curling Section hosted our Annual Great White North Bonspiel. We had a full draw of 16 teams which sold out in a matter of days. We had 2 teams visiting from Oshawa G&C and one from Leaside CC. It was a day full of the traditional Red and Black plaid as well as many costumes proudly wearing Red and White showing our true Canadian Spirit!!
This popular bonspiel had a lot to offer, more than just good curling and Great White North atmosphere. We had our amazing raffle table, draw to the button challenge, Canadian/Curling Trivia and Costume contest!! The feeling of comradery was evident by the laughter and support everyone gave each other throughout the day.
