Local ladies league curlers in the Comox Valley are set to face the Scottish Women’s Curling Tour this month.
For the first time in 30 years, the Scottish tour is returning to B.C. to compete against 18 curling clubs across the province, including a stop in the Comox Valley.
Twenty-four Scottish curlers, divided into six teams, will play against 24 members of the Comox Valley Ladies Leagues.
The Comox Valley team was scheduled to travel to Scotland for a tour in 2020, but local resident Cindy Wenzek said it was postponed until last year because of COVID-19.
“We had a fantastic trip filled with lots of curling, great food, making lasting friendships, and we won the Muriel Fage Trophy.”
The tour began in 1955 and brings 24 Scottish women curlers to Canada every 10 years, with 18 stops this year across the Lower Mainland, Okanagan and Vancouver Island.
This year’s event will be held at the Comox Valley Curling Centre on Monday, Nov. 17, with opening ceremonies starting at 2:30 p.m. Games will begin at 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.
