About the Executives

President

Hello/Bonjour ! This is your president, Ann! I've curled ever since that try-out in high school. The best part about curling is that it is super inclusive and accessible for people of all ages. You can curl regardless of your physical ability, visual perception, and hearing ability! It is also a great sport to keep you active during the winter months! 

Vice-President Finance

Hey! My name is Eric and I've been curling for just over 5 years. I love curling because of how quickly a game can change from winning by several points to fighting from behind. I also love the subtle strategy, and how it is always scrapped halfway through the end for a different unforeseen reason each time. If I had to describe the sport in one word, I would say it is unpredictable!

Vice-President Events

My name is Roger, and I am going into my third year at Western, pursuing an Ivey HBA and Civil Engineering dual degree. I have been playing curling for over a decade now, participating in local club play, competitive competitions, and high school leagues. This is my third year with Western Mixed Curling Club and my second as a VP, having previously been VP Finance. As the game of curling continues to become more popular, I am very excited to help grow our club and ensure that our club is as inclusive and welcoming as possible.

Past Events

  • Learn to Curl Clinic: WMCC ran a free learn-to-curl clinic in the fall of 2018 for new curlers to try out the sport for free. We have learned that there is a large interest base for curling but also understand that curling is a big financial investment. This event introduced new people to curling through a fun day with Canadian curling pro Tim Lindsay, who previously represented Northern Ontario in the Tim Horton’s Brier.

  • Annual Opening/Closing Dinners: Each year, during our first and last practices we hold dinners following our practice. This is usually catered by a professional catering company in London and features delicious restaurant meals. There are often prize giveaways during the last sessions of both terms as well.
