“I was honestly speechless and so honoured to have been selected; receiving this scholarship allows me to focus simply on school and curling. I’m now more confident that I’ll be able to have a balanced schedule to focus on training and studying without having to worry as much about the financial aspects of being a full time student and a high performance athlete.”Dubue, Lindsay

“It’s important to promote our sport to the next generation because the opportunities that are presently available at the junior level of curling are greater than ever before. Curling is a sport for life that can be played many years into adulthood. Plus, the comradery in curling is unique and the friendships will be made with curlers from across the whole country.”Horgan,-Tanner

“The community found in curling is unparalleled – nowhere else do you find your opponents to be your greatest adversaries on the ice but your greatest friends off the ice. Curling itself is a fantastic sport, but the community is what makes it phenomenal. There is no doubt in my mind that the incredibly supportive curling community is a major part of what entices me to return to the ice, day after day.”Jacques,-Ryan

“This sport is not just about winning, it is about participating, and it is about teamwork, sportsmanship and developing life skills. Curling is much more than just sport – there are countless intangible benefits for the next generation – it’s an opportunity for young kids to make friends, learn about diversity by respecting everyone, and prepare themselves for the rest of their life, just like it has done for me.”Jones,-Kaitlyn-1

“I was humbled to be one of ten scholars selected across all of Canada for not only my accomplishments in the classroom and on the curling ice, but also my volunteering involvement in my community. This scholarship will allow more time to focus on my academic and athletic endeavors without the extra stress of needing a part time job during an already busy schedule.”Mikush,-Dustin

“Being able to make friends and connect with people across Canada in your sport, and have them as a support in your life is something I am forever grateful for. Being a student-athlete has its challenges, but the friendships I’ve made, and the resources the curling community has given to me over the years have ultimately allowed me to excel in the sport and academics that made this scholarship possible.”Sturmay, Selena

“I think sport is becoming ever more vital in our current world, for a number of reasons. It bridges gaps between cultures, genders, languages, generations, and geographical locations. It helps create lifelong friendships and valuable connections. It provides individuals with an environment where they can truly express themselves. It is something that can inspire, and show us what humans are capable of. And most importantly (for me), it teaches lessons about the value of hard work, and putting effort into something that is greater than yourself.”Venance,-Glenn
