Message from the MCA President
V
olunteering and participating in curling has been a part of my
life for upwards of 25 years and while that road has had its
ups and downs, let me tell you it has been a very rewarding
and worthwhile trip.
Today, I consider myself very fortunate to be President of one of
the most well respected sport organizations in the country. Manitoba
remains synonymous with leadership and integrity and we continue
to play a huge role at the national and international level. I couldn’t be
prouder of this organization, all of the volunteers and staff, the over
140 facilities, and the thousands of curlers and curling fans throughout this great province. It is an honor to be associated with you all.
As a curler and volunteer the reward for me is the opportunity of
Mitchell Tarapasky
working with so many dedicated volunteers from around the province,
with enough memories of the experience to last a lifetime. We are all very passionate about the sport
whether it’s as an organizer, participant or spectator, and many of us have long term associations
with our own curling club. And that as much as anything is very unique in sport.
Today the MCA is 118+ years old and seven years into an amalgamated gender equal board,
that draws it’s strength from its Board of Directors, and celebrates much of its success from many of
the enthusiastic and supportive volunteers and sponsors. The MCA is committed to the promotion, organization and facilitation of the sport of curling in Manitoba at all levels of participation. That’s our mandate and that’s what the MCA Director in your region has as their objective.
As a Past President and Life Member of the Victoria CC in Winnipeg, the past 16 years as Club
Secretary, I know the challenges facing our aging facilities. If you’re a member of a curling club in
this province should not be surprised that operating costs are spiraling out of control while revenues just aren’t what they used to be. I encourage you to educate yourself on what it costs to run
these seasonal facilities, many of which are volunteer operated. And when the cost for you to curl
increases, it’s for no other reason than to maintain the building adequately so that you can enjoy the
sport we all love to play in these not for profit buildings. I organized the Winnipeg Curling Club’s for
that purpose and I am very pleased they continue to cooperate and work together.
The Victoria CC, formerly the CPR is in its 90th year of existence and continues to this day as a debt
free, volunteer run, working facility that will be around for a long time to come. I owe a debt of gratitude to
this club and its executive committee, as well members past and present for giving me the support and
encouragement required to participate at the levels I have. As in any curling club these are all very special people. Many are friends, and many are directly responsible for me being involved in curling today.
I very much look forward to working with our facilities and their members throughout the province
this season, and remain committed to giving my best effort on behalf of the Manitoba Curling Association. If the MCA or I can be of any assistance to you as a curler or your club, please contact us.
Best wishes to all for a fantastic and fun-filled season. I hope to meet and greet as many of you
as I can throughout my tenure.
Mitchell Tarapasky
President

Message from
the Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba
A
John Harvard, P.C., O.M.
s the Queen’s representative in Manitoba, I am
pleased to extend vice-regal greetings to Manitoba
Curling Association members on the launch of a new
competitive season.
A treasured element of Canadian culture, curling is a unique
sport that encourages people of all ages and skills to stay active
in the winter months, enjoying the camaraderie that is such a
major part of the game. Leagues and bonspiels continue to
flourish, adding special warmth to the season and bringing
Manitobans together in communities, large and small, all across
our province.
I am very pleased to serve as the Honourary Patron of the
Manitoba Curling Association for the 2006/07 season. Our
province has a proud and accomplished curling heritage, a
great tradition that carries on with each new season. Congratulations on your contribution to that legacy. I wish you continued
success.
The Honourable John Harvard, P.C., O.M.

Message from
the Premier of Manitoba
I
Gary Doer
t is my sincere pleasure to extend greetings on behalf
of the citizens and Government of Manitoba to all
those participating in the 2006-2007 curling season.
Manitoba prides itself on being the richest province in the
country when it comes to our local curling talent. We have
champions from every age group at all levels, and I am certain
this year will be another great curling year for the province. The
tradition of achievement lives on through dedicated competitors like yourselves, whose commitment to the sport makes it
one of the most popular pastimes of this great province.
One of the real attractions of this sport is that anyone can
participate and that it is, in fact, a team game. Curling is the
kind of sport that brings communities together as competitors or as fans. Aside from being dedicated competitors, the
curling community has developed a reputation as a group of
wonderful volunteers and welcoming hosts. In Manitoba, we
have a sense of community spirit that is unparalleled.
I want to thank the Manitoba Curling Association for all
their hard work and extend best wishes to all rinks for another
successful season. It is my hope that you will be able to look
back on this curling season and remember it as one of great
achievement, enjoyment and friendship. Best of luck to you!
Gary Doer
Premier

Message from
the President of Sport Manitoba
O
Jeff Hnatiuk
n behalf of Sport Manitoba, it is my pleasure to
convey greetings to curlers across the province.
Sport Manitoba is proud to support your provincial association, programs and events that contribute to the
ongoing development and growth of curling in Manitoba. Our
achievements have been many and allows us the opportunity
to build on our many successes.
The strength of curling in Manitoba is reflected two fold
- by the competitors on the ice and their success and in the
many conscientious and experienced volunteers and staff of
the Manitoba Curling Association. It is through their guidance
and leadership that programs exist for curlers of all levels and
abilities and that we are able to host first rate events from the
provincial to world championship level.
Curling clubs and their members are an important part of
our sport community and Manitoba’s sport and social fabric.
The tens of thousands of Manitobans who enjoy curling help
to make your sport one of the largest participation sports in our
province and an enjoyable activity for all who participate.
To curlers everywhere and to member clubs across the
province, I extend best wishes for another successful 20062007 season.

Message from
the Victoria Curling Club
T
he membership and executive of the Victoria Curling Club
would like to congratulate Mitchell Tarapasky, the 20062007 MCA President.
Mitch has been at the “Vic” for over 28 years. He has spent many
of those years volunteering his time to serve on the executive and
was our President in 1990-1991. He has and continues to serve
the curling club as our Secretary. I’m sure Mitch will do well in his
position as the MCA’s President this season. The wealth of experience he brings from the club level, along with the experience he has
gained in volunteering at the two World Curling Championships and
the Canadian Men’s Championship will greatly benefit the MCA.
Blair McLaren
Mitch is the fourth member of the Victoria Curling Club to
become President of the MCA.He follows Ab Brown in 1960/61, Barry Mulvenny 1984/85, and
Ken Parfeniuk 1997/98.
The Victoria Curling Club also has the prestigious honour of being the home club to the
President of the Manitoba Curling Club’s Past Presidents Association, Ed Tarapasky. Ed was the
President of the “Vic” in 1980/81, and held the position of Secretary at the club for many years.
Good luck and best wishes to Mitch, Ed, and the Manitoba Curling Association.

Message from
the Canadian Curling Association
I
Georgina Anderson
t is my pleasure to bring greetings on behalf of
President Donna Duffett and the Board of Directors
of the Canadian Curling Association to the Manitoba
Curling Association.
Manitoba is considered by many to be one of the leaders of
our sport in Canada and indeed the world and this trend continues as witnessed by the strong showing by all Manitoba teams
last year. But it isn’t just on the ice that Manitoba’s reputation
for leadership and innovation show up, as evidenced by The
Canadian Curling Association and their partners, led by The
Manitoba Curling Association, working towards a stronger and
more cohesive partnership.
The next year will be very exciting and busy as we build
towards the 2008 Tim Horton’s Brier which will be held in Winnipeg at the MTS Centre. Congratulations to the host committee
and the MCA and we look forward to a great event in 2008.
To President Mitch Tarapasky, my congratulations and best
wishes and I look forward to working with you this year towards
that brighter future.
To all the curlers of Manitoba I wish you good curling and
wish you well for the upcoming season.

Message from the Manitoba
Curling Hall-Of-Fame and Museum
F
Kathy Lylyk
or over nineteen years the Manitoba Curling Hallof-Fame and Museum has been collecting and
cataloguing artifacts, and recognizing those who
have displayed exceptional skill and administrative abilities in
out sport.
The efforts of the small core of volunteers, that have spent
numerous hours creating an outstanding display, may be
seen on the fifth floor of the Bay Downtown store, where we
share space with the Manitoba Sports Hall-of-Fame. I urge
you to make the effort, pay a visit and spend a few minutes
immersed in the history of our great game.
We are indebted to our founding members, to all volunteers, and our owners, the MCA for their support. Without it
our hall-of-fame would not be a reality.
Curlers from all parts of our province are invited to suggest persons who should be nominated, and to contribute
any artifacts they may have.
Plan to attend the 20th Annual Manitoba Curling Hall-ofFame Induction Dinner to be held at the Canad Inn Polo
Park, Sunday, May 6, 2007. On behalf of our Board of Directors, I wish all curlers much success and enjoyment in the
2006-2007 curling season.

Junior programs
earn top marks
T
he future of curling in Manitoba looks bright! This is
largely due to the number of and the success of the
numerous junior curling programs being offered in
Manitoba curling clubs, by the Manitoba Curling Association
and by the Canadian Curling Association.
With most individual curling clubs in the province
offering junior rocks programs, young curlers are being
introduced to the game at a much younger age than in
the past. Most of these programs utilize rocks that
are half the weight of a normal curling stone
while using the full sheet of curling ice.
The smaller stone allows for better
control of weight and
accuracy which in turn
generates shot making
skills. This creates
success for many kids and is a real confidence booster for youngsters. Other programs
that do not have the smaller stones at their club will put in a set of rings half way down
the sheet and the curlers will use regular rocks. Once players have a good handle on the
fundamental skills they move on to programs or junior leagues that employ regular curling
equipment and rules.
The Manitoba Curling Academy opened last season with three schools implementing
the program. This program is an optional course for Senior 1 and Senior 2 students to
play the game while gaining school credit at the same time. There is also a middle school
component that can be incorporated into the phys-ed program. This season the MCA has
10 schools signed up to take part.
Elementary schools can now get involved through a CCA program called Getting
Started. The program materials can be purchased from the CCA through the MCA and the
program itself is geared towards teachers and younger students. There are workbooks,
videos and group activities that take students from the classroom to the gym and finally
the curling rink. Students will learn the fundamentals of curling, build physical fitness and
experience the enjoyment of being on a team.
So, now that teachers, volunteers, parents and coaches have spent the winter months
introducing children to the game and getting them hooked, we have to spend all summer
waiting for the new season. Actually we don’t. The MCA offers two summer curling camp
programs to give kids a fun overnight camp program with their friends while getting curling
instruction. The first program is geared to curlers who are fairly new to the game and want
to start to learn the finer points like delivery analysis and teamwork. The other program is
geared to more seasoned young players, but still includes the same individual and team
focus. Players can register for these programs as individuals or as a team.
Feel free to contact your local curling club or the Manitoba Curling Association office at
925-5723 or 1-800-706-1486 or on our website at www.curlmanitoba.org for more information on any of the listed programs.

2nd Annual
Sandra Schmirler
Manitoba Golf Classic
a Success
T
he golf may not have been championship calibre but the field certainly was
and curlers and curling fans toured Larters at St. Andrews in the second
annual Sandra Schmirler Manitoba Golf Classic.
Over 200 participants including over 20 curlers representing Manitoba championship
teams across six decades, along with former U.S. Junior champion and Olympian Don
Barcombe, took part in the event. Representatives of the event’s 22 sponsors were prominent in their support of the tournament as well.
The tournament, in support of the Sandra Schmirler Foundation and the Children's
Hospital Foundation NeoNatal Intensive Care Unit, contributed $5,000 to each of the
two charities. The total contribution more than tripled the charitable donation of the first
tournament and organizers are confident that the total will rise in the future as curlers and
curling fans adopt the event as a part of their summer schedule.
“We appreciate the support of all of our sponsors, players and volunteers who helped
us make the second annual tournament a success in support of the Schmirler Foundation’s mission - Caring for Babies in Crisis,” said organizing committee chairman Zivan
Saper.
The committee has announced that the 2007 Sandra Schmirler Manitoba Golf Classic
will again be at Larters at St. Andrews on Thursday, July 26, 2007.

Message from the
Manitoba Curling Foundation
I
Edie Caron
t is a pleasure for me as President of the Manitoba
Curling Foundation to bring greetings from our Board
to all our member clubs across the province.
Over the last few years, the MCF and the MCA have
worked together for the betterment of the sport throughout
Manitoba, in particular, the support of junior curlers. The
Junior Development Program is designed to assist Manitoba
curling clubs and Manitoba schools in hosting curling clinics
for juniors up to the age of 19. The Foundation assists in this
regard by subsidizing a portion of the cost. The Foundation
also awards up to four $1,000 post-secondary education
scholarships to any junior curler actively involved in community/school involvement. The 2002-2003 season introduced
the Manitoba Curling Foundation Sport Award to two junior
curlers from each Provincial Sport Region, with an annual
award of $250.
In recent years, substantial funds have also been directed
from the Foundation towards assisting the Manitoba Curling
Association in the funding of competition, technical and
administrative programs.
The Foundation is eager to assist anyone in Manitoba,
who has identified a suitable need. If you think that you have
a project that will qualify for support, please contact us.

The W.E. (Bill) Lumsden Memorial Award
W.E (Bill) Lumsden passed away in April of 1982. To members of the Elmwood
Curling Club as well as friends wherever curling is played, Bill exemplified a spirit
and devotion to the game that we as a Club feel should be remembered. Accordingly, this Award has been established. The idea of the Award, which we hope will
be presented annually, is to recognize someone in Manitoba, male or female, to the
game of curling.
Too often, a person in a club or league contributes to the growth of his or her
club and receives little or no recognition. Some are elected to the Provincial or
National organizations and receive accolades from that source, while others, who
give freely of their time and themselves, are never so honoured. Hopefully, this
Award will in some way help correct that situation.
SELECTION CRITERIA
1. The Award recognizes a person who gives freely of their time on a voluntary basis.
2. The Award recognizes a person whose efforts in their curling club also reflect a community
involvement such as organizing a league for young curlers, disabled persons and senior citizens.
3. No Award will be presented posthumously.
4. Nominations are held over one year subject only to the permission of the nominators.
5. The Award recognizes in particular a person who has contributed in a general way to the growth of
their Club but perhaps has not received recognition for their efforts.
