This publication will annually tell our story and share our successes. It is one of many firsts that the CCA has enjoyed over the past few years, a time in which we have met and overcome some of the greatest challenges in our long history. In 2007, the CCA unanimously adopted the Policy Governance © model, a method by which the board of governors engages its members and communicates their collective vision, values and priorities to management, who in turn develop and deliver programs and services for the benefit of the Canadian curling community. At the same time, the CCA found itself in a desperate financial position that threatened not only its work but its very existence. A new governance philosophy, coupled with sound fiscal principles and the incredible effort of CCA management, resulted in the complete elimination of the deficit and what is today a seven-figure, long-term financial reserve. Such a quick turnaround is unprecedented in Canadian amateur sport and was the result of strong fundamentals and a total team effort. Those same principles power our top teams in their quest to compete and win Olympic gold for Canada. The competitive bar has been raised and as the focus of the world turns to Vancouver in February, our teams have never been more committed and neither has the CCA. Canada and the world will be tuned into an unprecedented amount of curling on television and we are hard at work to leverage that Olympic experience in all curling realms, from athletes to clubs to fans. We are excited about the future of curling and will work hard to ensure it remains one of Canada’s greatest sports! We hope you enjoy this first comprehensive CCA Annual Report! Yours in curling, Fran Todd Graham Prouse Chair, 2008-09 CCA Board of Governors Chair, 2009-10 CCA Board of Governors 6 CCA 2008-09 Annual Report The 2009-10 Canadian Curling Association board of governors: (back row, from left) Ron Hutton, Georgina Granchelli and Elaine de Ryk; (middle row) Mitch Tarapasky, Laura Lochanski and Jim Campbell; (front row) Bernadette McIntyre, Graham Prouse, Jack Bowman and Fran Todd. The national board is elected by the membership of the association and is accountable to representatives of that group. The board’s primary responsibility is to establish the necessary programs and resources required to develop, in the most general sense of the word, the sport of curling. The board will fulfil these responsibilities by formulating and adopting policies, seeing that these policies are implemented and by evaluating their results. Further, the board must carry out its functions openly, seeking the involvement of its members, corporate partners and staff. BOARD BOF

  • 1 Curling Club Championship Eligibility
    Curling Club Championship Eligibility Requirements The Curling Club Championships Rules have been updated allowing Member Associations flexibility in staging their championships and reducing any interpretation of eligibility. The principles of this event target non-elite teams (grassroots club curlers) who regularly compete in their clubs. Teams, however, are no longer limited to being the club champion to be considered eligible. The changes will allow Member Associations to control the number of entries in their jurisdictions. For example, Curl Sask prefers to allow any eligible team to enter the regional playdowns. Or, Curl ON prefers to restrict the number of entries per club to a maximum of one. Either is acceptable. Curling Club Championship Eligibility Requirements We trust all curling rinks will respect the intent of the spirit of the Curling Club Championships by engaging their members to participate and to represent their curling club in any process leading to the provincial / territorial championships and ultimately, leading to the Canadian Curling Club Championships. The event was created for true club-based teams. The objective is to support the development of grassroots curling across Canada. Here are the eligibility requirements for events leading to the national Curling Club Championships. Curling Canada reserves the right to exclude any team that violates the spirit and intent of this event as it pertains to the rules below. 1) Participating curling clubs must be affiliated with its Provincial / Territorial Curling Association. They must be in good standing with all applicable dues to the Association paid in full. 2) Any competitor (including 5th players and spares) must be members in good standing of an affiliated curling club for the duration of the process.
