Join us to cheer our Team TAM Canada as they challenge four teams from Scotland. The Strathcona Cup is the oldest curling bonspiel in the world (see Strathcona Cup Press Release). These games are free to watch as part of Tam Heather’s 50th Anniversary events open to members and guests. Please join us to witness the 150-year-old traditional ceremonies: the Broom Arch Welcome, the Parade of Players - Pipe to the ICE and Toast to the Piper, the Welcome address, and the “Stacking of the Brooms” break, and of course four great curling matches. Our Team TAM Canada teams are skipped by our very own Richard Hart, Tony Baker, Steve Hawkshaw, and Mike Atkin.
