My name is Scott Cooke and I am a member/organizer for a gay sport league in Hamilton.
I am working closely with Goldline and Grandslam of Curling to get more LGBTQ2+ exposure in curling and we have a couple things coming up this year that I wanted to extend to the Ottawa Rainbow Rockers Curling League..
On Sept 23 us and Goldline will be hosting a UnitedWeCurl bonspiel to kick off the year at the Oakville curling club. We will be looking for both experienced and rookie LGBT teams to play (probably a recreational and competitive division). We will be sourcing teams from Hamilton and Toronto and wanted to reach out to see if there are any teams in your club that would be interested.
We are also working with Grandslam of curling to host pride nights at the October slam in Niagara and April slam in Toronto on a weekend with free tickets, potential ice time and meets with LGBT pro curlers.
I wanted to reach out and see if participating in any of these of initiatives would be of interest to your club?
Cheers!
Scott Cooke
