  • Revue-De-Presse Curling Fevrier
    REVUE DE PRESSE Canada’s top mixed curling teams will play for a national championship in La Belle Province. The 2020 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship will be played Nov. 4-9, 2019, at Foyer des loisirs et de la culture in Saguenay, Que., it was announced today by Curling Canada. “As a competitor, I know what a special event the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship is, and I’m very proud and excited that we will be able to host it in my hometown,” said Robert Desjardins, President of Curling Saguenay Inc., and the runner-up at the 2018 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship skipping Quebec in Swan River, Man. “Curling brings people from so many backgrounds together under one roof, and we’re looking forward to entertaining players and fans alike from across the country when they arrive in Saguenay.” Desjardin’s wife — and lead on the 2018 Canadian Mixed Championship silver-medal team — Véronique Bouchard will be the Host Committee Co-Chair along with Jean-François Charest. It will be the first Canadian curling championship contested in Saguenay since Alberta’s Pat Ryan captured the 1988 Brier in Chicoutimi (Saguenay was formed in 2002 after the amalgamation of the cities of Chicoutimi, Jonquière, La Baie and Laterrière). It will be the third time Quebec has hosted the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. Most recently, Ontario’s Cory Heggestad won the 2013 Canadian Mixed at Mount Royal; in 1990, Alberta’s Marv Wirth prevailed at Rimouski, while Saskatchewan’s Larry McGrath won the 1967 Canadian Mixed in Quebec City.
