Possibly, if you’re reading this in the morning somewhere, I’ll be having breakfast at Smitty’s, which is kind of obligatory. Then a rush of interviews, visits and asking nosy questions. There are several series closely associated with this neck of the woods – This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Mr. D, Trailer Park Boys, to name just a few. At this minute I can’t say exactly what will unfold on my visit here. But there is news to report.

    A BRIEF HISTORY OF NOVA SCOTIA CURLING A BRIEF HISTORY OF NOVA SCOTIA CURLING A BRIEF HISTORY OF NOVA SCOTIA CURLING 1 Table of Contents • A BRIEF HISTORY OF NOVA SCOTIA CURLING ♦ Nova Scotia Teams Winning Canadian Championships ♦ JUNIOR MEN'S ♦ NSLCA JUNIOR WOMEN'S CHAMPIONS ♦ MIXED ♦ BRIER TANKARD TROPHY ♦ NSLCA OPEN CHAMPIONS ♦ SENIOR MEN'S ♦ NSLCA SENIOR WOMEN'S CHAMPIONS A BRIEF HISTORY OF NOVA SCOTIA CURLING The first organization of curling clubs into an association took place in Scotland on July 25th, 1838. The organization was called the Grand Caledonian Curling Club. Five years later, in 1843, Her Majesty, Queen Victoria gave permission to use the word Royal. The word Grand, being considered superfluous, was dropped, and since that time has been the Royal Caledonian Curling Club. The Royal Caledonian Curling Club bestowed the powers of a Branch on the Halifax Curling Club in 1851. This authority was given up in December of 1852 when the Halifax Curling Club, the Halifax Thistle Curling Club, and the Dartmouth Curling Club formed the Nova Scotia Branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club. In February 1852, the Pictou Curling Club became a member. The New Caledonian Curling Club of Pictou and the New Glasgow Curling Club were admitted to membership in 1854. Antigonish was admitted to membership in 1856. The Nova Scotia Branch was active until the year 1862. It became inactive from 1863 until 1867. After having held three executive meetings in January and February 1867, it became dormant until it's revival in 1904. The first curling game of record arranged by the Nova Scotia Branch was between Halifax, Thistle, and Dartmouth Clubs on January 1st, 1851 at 10:00 a.m.
