The success of the 2011 Ford World Men’s Curling Championship is a direct result of a dedicated team of volunteers. Over the past nine days, we’ve all seen the extraordinary efforts of the 511 people who have contributed their time, energy and enthusiasm. From early morning until the wee hours of the night, they’ve been on the job – attending to every detail in dozens of different roles – ensuring a memorable experience in Regina for fans and competitors alike. And, for many, the commitment started long before the competition got underway. So here’s a toast to the volunteers – we thank you all… for all you’ve done!
