CASEM’S ‘GAME OF STONES’

NEW CURLING EVENT! – MAX 64 PARTICIPANTS – March 9 at 11:30am-4pm – Free!

THIS EVENT HAS SOME SPACES STILL AVAILABLE

Hey all you sports junkies. The organizers of this year’s CASEM Sport Medicine Conference have scheduled a block of time on Thursday March 9th to go out and enjoy some of the amazing activities that are available in the Banff area. It also gives attendees and their families an opportunity to try out a new sport. With this in mind, MD Financial Management & Scotiabank Healthcare + has generously offered to sponsor a curling event at this year’s conference and so there will be no cost to anyone who wishes to participate. Here are the details:

1. Everyone is welcome – Grand Slammers, novices and new comers. If you aren’t a curler when you arrive, you will be a curler when you the day is over.
2. Location – the Banff Curling Club – a beautiful facility with 4 sheets of ice – approximately a 20 minute walk from the conference hotel
3. Timing – 11:30am to 4pm – concluding with a light meal and beverages
4. Equipment – the club will provide brooms, stabilizers, grippers and sliders. You will need to bring a clean running shoes, light but warm gloves, stretchy pants, a warm undershirt, a loose fitting athletic jacket and a hat.
5. Number of participants – we are limited to a maximum of 64 participants – first come first served. So if you are interested let Darrell Menard (djmenard@rogers.com) know ASAP to ensure that to get one of the few remaining spots!
6. Program –We had more people interested in participating than expected and rather than turn people away, we decided to break the event into 2 sessions of approximately 20 people. The timing of sessions are as follows:1. 11:30 to 2pm
   2. 1:30pm to 4pm – the half hour overlap is to allow for equipment fitting and off ice instruction 3. A light meal will be provided at 1:30pm. We will have several instructors available to teach participants the basic skills they need to be safe and to be able to make a shot or two.
7. Costs – absolutely free – a bargain for you!
8. Shoes – if you are a curler, we recommend you bring your own shoes.

So why not take a slide on the wild side and indulge the secret curler in you. When you play “The Game of Stones” you can throw rocks at houses and you get to yell at the top of your lungs things like “Sweep”, “Tee Line” “Take it out”, “How’s my weight?” and “Hurry Hard!” So come and join us for some fun and friendly competition.
