JUNIOR BONSPIEL
Eleven teams are competing in a junior bonspiel hosted by the 100 Mile Curling Club this weekend.
100 Mile House has three teams entered, while teams from Prince George, Williams Lake and Kamloops are also making the trip.
The action starts on Dec. 7 with morning draws at 10:30 a.m. The afternoon draws start at 1:30 p.m. and go throughout the day on Dec. 8
This should be very entertaining and competitive, says Wayne Venos, 100 Mile Curling Club publicity director.
“I’m sure the local public will really enjoy it and know that our local juniors will really appreciate their support.”
2015 WINTER GAMES
The BC Games Society recently announced that Rob Needham has been appointed as the Chef de Mission and Michelle Collens as the Assistant Chef de Mission for Team BC as preparations begin towards the Prince George 2015 Canada Winter Games.
Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes visited Prince George on Nov. 30 as part of Sports Day in Canada and made the announcement.
“We are lucky to have two people so committed to our athletes as Rob Needham and Michelle Collens,” says Oakes.
“Rob and Michelle did a fantastic job with Team BC at the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke and I know that 2015 Team BC will be in good hands.”
TEDDY BEAR TOSS
The 100 Mile House Wranglers host the Revelstoke Grizzlies at 7 p.m. on Nov. 7.
With charity in mind, the local Junior B hockey club is hoping fans will bring in a different, more cuddly type of bear – new or gently used, bagged teddy bears – to be tossed on the ice after the first Wranglers goal.
Clear plastic bags will be available at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre.
The teddy bears will be donated to Loaves & Fishes Outreach, RCMP Victims Assistance, 100 Mile House Food Bank Society and the 100 Mile & District Women’s Centre Society.
