  • Champions & Grand Aggregate Winners
    CHAMPIONS & GRAND AGGREGATE WINNERS Annual Bonspiel of the Manitoba Branch of the Royal CalCaleeeedoniandonian Curling Club 1889 ––– 1907 MCA ANNUAL BONSPIEL 1908 ––– 2013 MANITOBA OPEN BONSPIEL 2014 ––– present CurlManitoba – Bonspiel Champions & Aggregate Winners Since 1889 ( December 1, 2020 ) Page 1 Manitoba’s 150 th anniversary celebration provides motivation for review of history in many areas, including Manitoba proud curling heritage. This document accumulates together, for the first time, an acknowledgement of all of the Manitoba Curling Association’s annual bonspiel “champions”. The project was initiated by Les Ferris of Holland, inspired by local history which tells the story of Holland’s Hector McLean team returning home to a brass-band reception after winning the MCA’s annual bonspiel in 1900. Ferris’ first research was possible thanks to a set of early MCA annual publications, originally collected by Stan Oleson and Ab Gowanlock. The research effort of MCA ‘historians’ Rick Mutton and Heather Helston is acknowledged and appreciated as an additional foundation of this document. The support of Heidi Rees, Reference Services, Manitoba Legislative Library is also much appreciated. Reference has been made to archive copies of the annual bonspiel programmes (which evolved into the association’s annual publication). Archive copies of the Winnipeg Free Press, Manitoba Morning Free Press, and Winnipeg Tribune have provided key insights into the bonspiels of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. In addition, reference has also been made to the Morris Mott/John Allardyce book Curling Capital: Winnipeg and the Roarin’ Game, 1876 to 1988 and to the archives of thecurler.com. The documented was drafted by Resby Coutts on behalf of CurlManitoba and the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame & Museum.

  • Manitoba Provincial Mixed History
    Manitoba Provincial Men’s History Year of First Provincial Men’s Championship: 1925 Format: From 1925 to 1958 teams played a straight knockout format. This was played in conjunction with the MCA Bonspiel. In some years as many as 64 teams qualified. Exceptions to this included 1930 to 1932 where the MCA Bonspiel Grand Aggregate Winner was declared Provincial Champion. In 1949 a round robin format was used with 12 teams. In 1959 the current format of a maximum of 32 teams was started, however if a team qualified twice the numbers were reduced accordingly. In 1965, minimum 32 teams became the yearly number to compete. There have been various types of draws used to declare the champions over the years. In 1995, the 8 team qualifier was introduced and in 2003 the Final Four or Page Playoff was introduced.

  • 150 Notable Manitoba Curling Teams
    150 NOTABLE MANITOBA CURLING TEAMS In honour of Manitoba’s 150 th Anniversary, the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame and Museum has undertaken to identify 150 teams which played a significant role in creating (in the early years) and extending (in more recent times) Manitoba’s reputation for competitive excellence in the world of curling. Our list acknowledges teams from all competitive sectors from the high-profile junior and men’s and women’s teams to less well-known teams at the mixed, senior, and masters levels and even outside the association realm in the deaf, police and postal championship realms. All of these successful teams played roles in establishing Manitoba’s well-deserved reputation. We also acknowledge recent successes in the new discipline of Mixed Doubles but this historical perspective is focussed on the traditional four-person game. INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC TO ADD TO THE LIST: A total of 150 teams were identified initially. Subsequently two missed teams have been added so the list now includes 152 teams. There are many other teams across Manitoba’s curling history which also belong on a listing of this nature. Manitoba curling fans are invited to suggest other teams for inclusion. In most cases, the teams are included on this list on the basis of the team’s on-ice success in a single outstanding year OR across a series of years. In the latter case, we have acknowledged that so long as three people remained on a team from a previous recorded success – then it was still the same team.

  • Religious Nationalism in an Age of Globalization: the Case of 1
    74 Religious Nationalism in an Age of Globalization: The Case of 1 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/2236-463320161405 Benjamin W. Goossen History Department of Harvard University, Cambridge MA, Estados Unidos da América [email protected] Abstract: This article uses the example of Mennonite nation-building in Paraguay during the 1920s and 1930s to argue that state formation is not inherently modernist. Tracing nineteenth and early twentieth-century discourses of Mennonite colonies in Imperial e essay advocates a reevaluation of theories of modern statehood advanced by thinkers like James C. Scott and Ernest Gellner. As conservative, pacifist Mennonites traveled from North America to the Paraguayan Chaco to escape the pressures of assimilation in democratic society, their migration paved the way for coreligionists fleeing persecution in the Soviet Union to join internationally, characterized by deep religious observance, and conceived in opposition to high modernist projects. Keywords: State-building, nationalism, Mennonites, modernity, diaspora, globalization 1 This essay draws on research for my forthcoming book, Chosen Nation: Mennonites and Germany in a Global Era. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2017, conducted with funding from the Fulbright Commission, the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and Harvard University.

Correia the Chaco's agricultural boom: Extensive deforestation also scars the region. Roughly 14% of the Chaco forest was cut down between 2001 and 2014. The Mennonites' success in transforming the Chaco into a ranching powerhouse now undermines their own long-sought solitude, endangers this famous forest and threatens the very existence of indigenous people who've lived in the region since time immemorial.
