Free curling in Wilkie this season
Curling returns to the ice this year in Wilkie and it’s going to be free to play all season.
The Wilkie Curling Club is returning back to its home sheets this season after the fire on Oct. 9, 2015 caused serious damage to the Wilkie Community Centre and arenas. Curlers, hockey players and other members of the community were forced to find other accommodations for their activities over last season.
Executive for the Wilkie Curling Club Tracy McKenzie said the fees aren’t being charged in an attempt to bring back the curlers forced out and maybe attract some new ones.
“We want get back our existing members and hopefully some new members to come on out and enjoy the great game of curling,” she said.
