3-) Fundraiser for curling in Quebec: The deadline for the program Placements Sports is March 31. This program established by the Gouvernement du Québec aims to grow the sport and offer better services by matching every donations made by individuals and businesses to their federation. The government will match all eligible donations 230%, so a $100 donation will bring in $330 to curling, enough to introduce three kids to curling! As this matching program will conclude at the end of the fiscal year and has not been renewed as of yet, we encourage the interested members to make a donation before the end of March to take advantage of this opportunity; it’s not every day that the government is willing to give us money! We also invite ambassadors to share this information with all the members of their club. Thank you! For more information: http://curling-quebec.qc.ca/

5-) WINTER 2017 – Curling 101 & Igloo : Curling 101 and Igloo, two of Curling Québec’s development programs, have been offered in several affiliated curling clubs since last year and the results were more than satisfying.

Many other clubs have already started to plan the implementation of Curling 101 and/or Igloo for fall 2017 and Curling Québec would like to share the invitation to others!
