World Curling Tour Comes to Abbotsford BC





What would it take to bring 32 of the biggest names in ladies curling to Abbotsford this November? How about $60,000 and a shot at the 2010 Olympics! On November 16-19, 2007 the Wayden Transportation Ladies Classic Grand Slam comes to town and the current world champion is only one of the superstars lining up to compete.

In addition to cash prizes, teams are also chasing valuable Canadian Team Ranking System (CTRS) points. CTRS leaders will compete at the 2009 Canadian Curling Trials for the honour of representing Canada in our own back yard in 2010.

This year’s draw reads like a who’s who of Canadian curling – Kelly Scott (Current World Champion), Shannon Kleibrink (Bronze Medal – 2006 Olympics), Jennifer Jones (2005 Canadian Champion) and Colleen Jones (2-time World Champion & 6-time Canadian Champion) are all coming to town. Throw in Sherry Anderson, Stefanie Lawton (defending Classic champion), and Sherry Middaugh and you’ve got a great weekend of curling.

Come and cheer on Canada’s biggest rock stars at the Abbotsford Curling Club November 16-19. The action starts on Friday November 16th at 8am and the finals get underway at 3pm on
Monday November 19th.
