(photo de Curling Canada\/ Michael Burns)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Le Prix de b\u00e9n\u00e9vole de l\u2019ann\u00e9e de Curling Canada se remet sur la base des contributions du candidat\/de la candidate au cours de la saison pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente, dans une vari\u00e9t\u00e9 de domaines \u00e9ventuels. Dans le cas de Smith, la contribution la plus significative s\u2019est apport\u00e9e avant m\u00eame que la glace ne soit pos\u00e9e.<\/p>\n

Remontons en arri\u00e8re au mois de f\u00e9vrier, 2011 : Smith et ses confr\u00e8res du club de Curling des Collines jouaient dans une patinoire, tout comme ils faisaient une fois par semaine depuis 2005.<\/p>\n

\u00abCe jour-l\u00e0, la glace \u00e9tait plus minable que d\u2019habitude. Personne ne se plaisait \u00e0 jouer,\u00bb rappelle Smith. \u00abL\u2019autre probl\u00e8me \u00e9tait que le temps sur la glace \u00e9tait limit\u00e9, puisque nous partagions l\u2019installation avec des programmes de hockey et de patinage. L\u2019installation de curling la plus proche sur la rive qu\u00e9b\u00e9coise \u00e9tait \u00e0 plus de 50 minutes de route.\u00bb<\/p>\n

C\u2019est ainsi que Smith s\u2019est mis \u00e0 discuter des alternatives avec les autres membres, et le soutien pour une nouvelle installation locale s\u2019est accru.<\/p>\n

\u00abNous pensions que, \u00e0 regarder la population de notre municipalit\u00e9 et des villes voisines, une nouvelle installation de curling serait faisable. Et plus on parlait aux gens, plus clair il devenait que si une telle installation existait, nous aurions toute une vague de nouveaux participants,\u00bb remarque-t-il.<\/p>\n

C\u2019\u00e9tait Smith qui a compl\u00e9t\u00e9 les formulaires de demande de subvention et le plan d\u2019affaires qui ont convaincu le gouvernement provincial d\u2019allouer les fonds. Dans une campagne de financement il a su cueillir plus de 400 000$, et il s\u2019est entretenu avec les \u00e9tablissements financiers pour mettre en place le financement additionnel.<\/p>\n

Mais c\u2019\u00e9tait de son propre aveu une bataille ardue, pleine de d\u00e9fis.<\/p>\n

\u00abNous avons parl\u00e9 avec d\u2019autres groupes qui avaient entam\u00e9 des projets comparables et nous avons d\u00e9couvert que \u00e7a pourrait raisonnablement prendre sept ou dix ans, et l\u00e0 c\u2019\u00e9tait une estimation optimiste,\u00bb indique-t-il. \u00abCertains avaient abandonn\u00e9 le projet apr\u00e8s dix ans de travail inutile. Donc nous avions les yeux grand ouverts.\u00bb<\/p>\n

En 2013, le premier plan d\u2019affaires d\u00e9pos\u00e9 dans sa propre municipalit\u00e9 de La P\u00eache n\u2019a pas rapport\u00e9. Une deuxi\u00e8me tentative, cette fois-ci pour une installation \u00e0 Chelsea, a soulev\u00e9 des difficult\u00e9s et le financement a \u00e9t\u00e9 retir\u00e9 \u00e0 la derni\u00e8re minute.<\/p>\n

\u00abMais en m\u00eame temps le soutien de nos membres a demeur\u00e9 aussi solide que jamais, et nous avions \u00e9galement l\u2019appui des nouveaux membres \u00e9ventuels, et en cons\u00e9quence nous \u00e9tions d\u2019autant plus r\u00e9solus \u00e0 mener \u00e0 bien cette affaire et trouver des solutions aux obstacles qui survenaient,\u00bb affirme Smith, qui \u00e9tait tomb\u00e9 amoureux du curling apr\u00e8s qu\u2019il avait pris sa retraite et s\u2019est adonn\u00e9 \u00e0 ce sport en 2007.<\/p>\n

\u00abPeut-\u00eatre devrait-on baptiser notre installation Patience et Pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance, puisque sans ces deux qualit\u00e9s-l\u00e0, nous aurions capitul\u00e9 il y a longtemps.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Le r\u00eave de construire une installation permanente pour Curling des Collines est devenu r\u00e9alit\u00e9 au mois de f\u00e9vrier 2016, lorsque le gouvernement du Qu\u00e9bec a annonc\u00e9 sa volont\u00e9 de contribuer 1,7 millions de dollars vers la construction d\u2019une nouvelle installation \u00e0 quatre pistes de curling.<\/p>\n

\u00abCe n\u2019est pas tous les jours o\u00f9 de nouveaux clubs de curling voient le jour au Qu\u00e9bec, cependant M. Smith a su rendre cela possible,\u00bb a dit Marc-Andr\u00e9 Robitaille, directeur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Curling Qu\u00e9bec, dans la lettre qu\u2019il a \u00e9crite pour exprimer son soutien de la candidature de Smith au prix de b\u00e9n\u00e9vole de l\u2019ann\u00e9e. \u00abCe n\u2019\u00e9tait pas un mince exploit. Roger Smith a investi plusieurs ann\u00e9es d\u2019efforts \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper ce projet. Il a ralli\u00e9 un cadre solide de b\u00e9n\u00e9voles et il a dress\u00e9 un plan d\u2019affaires ph\u00e9nom\u00e9nal en vue de mettre la main sur les fonds n\u00e9cessaires pour faire construire le nouveau centre de curling.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Curling des Collines arrive maintenant aux derni\u00e8res \u00e9tapes de la construction, et compte ouvrir ses portes pour la saison 2018-19, pr\u00eat \u00e0 accueillir plus de 600 membres.<\/p>\n

Smith a \u00e9t\u00e9 mis \u00e0 l\u2019honneur durant une c\u00e9r\u00e9monie sur la piste au Brier Tim Hortons 2018 \u00e0 Regina, et c\u2019\u00e9tait certainement un moment sp\u00e9cial pour un homme qui pr\u00e9f\u00e8re travailler dans les coulisses.<\/p>\n

\u00abWow, je ne suis pas quelqu\u2019un qui aime \u00eatre sous les feux de la rampe, donc c\u2019\u00e9tait assez intimidant d\u2019\u00eatre sur la glace devant toute cette foule et recevoir la plaque et le fanion,\u00bb convient-il.<\/p>\n

\u00abJ\u2019appr\u00e9cie vraiment la reconnaissance, mais plus important encore, j\u2019esp\u00e8re que le succ\u00e8s que nous avons connu va inspirer d\u2019autres groupes \u00e0 trouver les moyens pour rendre le curling plus accessible dans leurs propres r\u00e9gions.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Les 14 Associations-membres ont propos\u00e9 des candidats et candidates au Prix de b\u00e9n\u00e9vole de l\u2019ann\u00e9e Curling Canada. Parmi les dossiers de candidature vraiment remarquables, le jury en est arriv\u00e9 \u00e0 une liste de sept finalistes, incluant Smith.<\/em><\/p>\n
