Curling Bonspiel in Support of Des Collines Health Foundation

THANK YOU To everyone that PARTICIPATED IN THE 1st CURLING FUNSPIEL hosted by Des Collines Health Foundation and presented by Des Collines Curling Club on March 4, 2023.


Your presence made it a memorable success. Our gratitude for your support, together with the generous sponsors, who provided all the prizes. It was a great success, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of our community.

Your contributions helped us to raise $5000 profit for Fondation de santé des Collines / Des Collines Health Foundation and to support health in and for our community. The profits will be used to fund a mural in the Chelsea, CLSC family visiting room, creating a welcoming space for families during difficult times. Additionally, to purchase automated chairs for the CHSLD long-term care home, improving residents’ comfort and mobility.

A heartfelt shout out to CURLING DES COLLINES for supporting the event, sharing your precious volunteers that selflessly gave their time and resources to make this event possible.

Special thanks to Rita Jain Ward/ District 5 Chelsea Cybele Wilson, Maire Pierre Guenard and DG Sheena Miano who not only attended the event but also participated in the curling games with enthusiasm. Your presence made the event even more special.

We are grateful for to all so many local organizations for all the generous prizes that were so enjoyed by everyone who participated!

Thank you, Laurie, for your hard work and dedication to this event, and the Des Collines Health Foundation!

We look forward to seeing you at future events.
