Ladies ready to bonspiel
The Alberni Valley Curling Club plays host to the 53rd annual Ladies Bonspiel Nov. 20–22. This year’s theme is Follow the Yellow Brick Road and will feature more than 20 teams from Port Alberni, Campbell River, Comox, Parksville, Qualicum, Nanaimo and Gibsons.
The first draw of the bonspiel will be between 5–6 p.m. on Friday, and continue all day Saturday. The finals will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 22.
The public is welcome to come and watch the games. The A-event winners, Team Lepine, will not be defending their title, so it’s anybody’s guess who the top teams will be.
New owners for Mt. Washington
The snow has started to fall on Mount Washington Alpine Resort, just a week after the announcement that Pacific Group Resorts has purchased the Vancouver Island-based ski resort.
A Discover Comox Valley spokesperson said the investment “demonstrates the recognition of current and projected tourism industry growth in the Comox Valley and Island region.”
