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.

  • Feb. 18, 2021—To the Honourable Cliff Cullen, Minister of Education
    February 18, 2021 The Honourable Cliff Cullen Minister of Education Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 Dear Minister Cullen: River East Transcona School division is the second largest school division in the province. We offer quality education programming to our students while having the lowest cost per pupil in the urban area. Our administration cost cap is currently 2.4%, .3% lower than the government directive of 2.7%. RETSD can do this because of the effective and efficient budgeting process it follows. The division has consistently developed lean budgets that maximize revenue supports to provide for students. Our Board is proud of this accomplishment. As have all school divisions in the province, we recently received your funding announcement. The announcement outlines financial support from the province as well as restrictions and limitations placed on our local school board. The impact of those restrictions and limitations is magnified in our division due to the existence of a fiscally responsible and lean budget. Specifically, RETSD Board of Trustees may not raise local education property tax above the level assessed last year. The province is providing school divisions with a 2% Property Tax Offset Grant (PTOG) to make up the shortfall in revenue. Unfortunately, the 2% PTOG does not adequately address the actual costs the division is facing just to maintain a status quo budgetary position. The provisions of Bill 28 dictate that our employees will receive a 1% salary increase this year. Many of our teachers will also be receiving an additional annual salary increment. Our division is experiencing unprecedented expansion and student population growth.

  • 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. Sponsors: 1925 – 1979 British Consols – (MacDonald Tobacco) 1980 – 1994 Tankard – (Labatt’s Manitoba Brewery) 1995 - 2006 Safeway Select – (Canada Safeway Limited) 2007 - 2015 Safeway Championship- (Canada Safeway Limited) 2016 - Viterra Year of First Canadian Men’s Championship: 1927 Manitoba Teams Winning Canadian Men’s Championship 1928 Gordon Hudson, Sam Penwarden, Ron Singbush, Bill Grant 1929 Gordon Hudson, Don Rollo, Ron Singbush, Bill Grant 1930 Howard Wood Sr. Jimmy Congalton, Victor Wood, Lionel Wood 1931 Robert Gourley, Ernie Pollard, Arnold Lockerbie, Ray Stewart 1932 Jimmy Congalton, Howard Wood Sr. Bill Noble, Harry Mawhinney 1934 Leo Johnson, Lorne Stewart, Linc Johnson, Marno Frederickson 1936 Ken Watson, Grant Watson, Marvin McIntyre, Charles Kerr 1938 Ab Gowanlock, Bung Cartmell, Bill McKnight, Tom McKnight 1940 Howard Wood Sr.

  • 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.
