A cool little newspaper called The Curling News has an exclusive on the cover of its new December issue.
A new study by the City of Toronto has numbered the amount of “lost” curlers through club closures over the years. That shocking number is over 8,000.
However, the city is making a new kind of commitment to the sport, through the Toronto Curling Association.
National Curling Development guy Danny Lamoureux weighs in, among others.
You don’t have to be a resident of Canada’s largest city to see how important these developments are – both the acknowledgment of a disaster-in-the-making, and the promise of some real solutions. Toronto stands alone with rather unique curling problems as compared to other urban markets, which are all allegedly “booming” in terms of development. As such, this story is a big one for each and every curling fan.
