Why I wanted to be part of the curling tour:
I wanted to be part of the tour as it is a good way to meet fellow curlers from across the pond. It is a part of Canada i haven’t visited before. It will be a great way to make new friends for life . I was inspired to do it by my father who did the tour in 2003. It will abe good experience to curl in all the different ice rinks.
