WORLD CURLING FEDERATIONPRESIDENTKate Caithness, CBEScotland’s Kate Caithness is the first female president of the World Curling Federation and the first female president of any Olympic winter sports federation.
First elected president of the WCF in April 2010 and re-elected without opposition in 2012, ’14 and ’18, Caithness has been involved with the sport of curling since the 1980s. As a member of Scotland’s Royal Caledonian Curling Club, she went from playing the game to putting something back into the sport in the late 1990s. She served as president of the RCCC Ladies’ Branch in 1997-98, then became an RCCC representative to the World Curling Federation.
Since 2000, Caithness has been the driving force behind the WCF’s development of wheelchair curling. She was on the team that created the first World Wheelchair Curling Championship and was instrumental in the sport’s inclusion at the 2006 Paralympic Winter Games in Turin, Italy.
From 2005 to ’09 Caithness was an elected member of the International Paralympic Committee’s five-person Sports Council Management Committee and she served on the Paralympic Games Committee from 2006 to ’09.
Caithness was elected vice-president of the WCF in 2006 and served two two-year terms under former president Les Harrison.
In March 2011, Caithness was appointed to the Olympic Program Commission, responsible for reviewing and analyzing the sports, disciplines and events program, as well as the number of athletes in each sport, for the Summer and Winter Olympics.
Married and the mother of two sons, Caithness has four grandchildren. She spends her free time with family and, when she has a chance, curling and playing golf at her home club in Edzell, Angus, where she was the Lady Captain from 2002 to ’04.
THE WORLD CURLING FEDERATIONThe World Curling Federation is the recognized governing body of curling in the world.
The WCF’s first formal constitution was approved in 1967 under the original charter of the International Curling Federation in Perth, Scotland. The constitution was significantly adjusted in 1982, when the federation was declared independent from Scotland’s Royal Caledonian Curling Club, to which its original constitution had been tied. In 1990, the official name was changed to World Curling Federation. Further significant changes were made in 1994.
The WCF has a four-part mandate:
• To represent curling internationally and to facilitate the growth of the sport through a network of member associations
• To formulate rules of the sport of curling for world competition and all other competitions approved by the WCF and to further the interests of world curling
• To conduct world curling competitions
• To provide co-operation and mutual understanding among member associations and to unite curlers throughout the world

CURLING CANADA ADMINISTRATION
KATHERINE HENDERSONChief executive officerKatherine Henderson, Curling Canada’s chief executive officer, has a wealth of experience in leadership roles in sports, marketing and brand
management that spans more than 25 years.Henderson assumed the role of CEO in April
2016 and has since led the organization into an era of curling growth and sound business practices, coupled with consistent world-best results on the ice from Canada’s national curling teams.
Henderson joined Curling Canada after her role as senior vice-president of marketing and revenue for the Toronto 2015 PanAm/Parapan American Games organizing committee, with which she played a significant role in putting together the most successful non-Olympic sponsorship program in Canadian history, with a who’s who of Canada’s corporate community. She also oversaw the negotiation of broadcast rights for the games and under her watch the PanAm/Parapan games broke records for attendance, ticket sales and television ratings.
Before that, she spent seven years with the Whirlpool Corporation, filling prominent
leadership roles in marketing and general management for the Canadian and North American divisions. She has also worked in marketing/branding roles with other high-profile companies, including Colgate Palmolive Canada, Campbell Soup Canada and General Mills Canada.
“Curling Canada is in the midst of an era of unprecedented financial stability, thanks to the success of our championship events as well as the sound management practices we have put in place within our organization,” said Henderson. “At the high-performance level, our athletes continue to represent our country with class and distinction, while we continue to grow the game from the grassroots on up by supporting our country’s curling centres with the Curling Assistance Program, Adult Learn to Curl programming and youth curling initiatives. It truly is an exciting time to be involved in the sport of curling.”
A long-time runner in her spare time, Henderson holds a bachelor of science degree in nutrition from the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, a master’s in business administration from the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto and a master’s in theological studies from the University of Toronto.

WHILE TODAY’S YOUNG CURLERS WILL shape the landscape of the sport for years to come, they also face the challenge of honing their life skills off the ice.
And thanks to the generous support of the Canada-wide curling community, Curling Canada is proud to award 10 $2,500 For the Love of Curling scholarships to deserving youth curlers who best demonstrate athletic and academic prowess as well as community leadership.
Through Curling Canada’s philanthropic program, donors are having a direct impact on the sport of curling and a strong influence on the next generation of leaders.
As part of the scholarship application, athletes were asked to write a two-page essay with this year’s theme, which focused on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Applicants were asked to reflect on “how you, your teammates and your curling community were impacted by the 2020 Coronavirus/COVID-19 outbreak. During these challenging times of social and physical distancing, event cancellations and the curling season suspending early, where are you finding inspiration, strength and positivity, and how are you role-modelling these same attributes for those around you?”
The scholarships not only encourage tomorrow’s leaders to remain contributing members of their community but allow them financial flexibility to pursue curling’s highest accolades while balancing their educational endeavours.
“The For the Love of Curling scholarship is unique in the sense that it provides the
up-and-coming stars of our sport a platform to have their voices heard,” says 2015 scholarship recipient Karsten Sturmay. “As not only a returning member of the selection committee, but as a previous recipient myself, I have been extremely grateful to witness the impacts of the scholarship program from both sides.”
Sturmay knows this year’s selections are in need more than ever because of the ever-evolving COVID-19 situation and its impacts on education.
“As a past scholar myself, I know firsthand that the financial support I was fortunate enough to receive in 2015 went a long way. What I cannot begin to comprehend is how impactful the scholarship will be on this year’s recipients,” says Sturmay. “Hundreds of thousands of students across the country were unable to find summer employment, which is crucial for covering tuition expenses or the costs associated with playing a sport at a competitive level.”
Through the For the Love of Curling scholarships, the curling community and Curling Canada continue to make meaningful investments in the future generation of our sport.
“This year's scholarship program will make a massive difference in the lives of 10 very deserving athletes across the country,” says Sturmay. “During uncertain times, people gravitate towards things that offer certainty. As such, it is truly heartwarming to see that Curling Canada is steadfast in its commitment to supporting the future of our sport, and through their scholarship program, to providing stability in unstable times.”

CURLING CANADA AWARDS
CURLING CANADA VOLUNTEER OF THE YEARBill Shorter of Deep River, Ontario, is the winner of the 2018-19 Volunteer of the Year Award in recognition of his significant contribution to the success of the Deep River Curling and Squash Club.
Few aspects of the club’s operation haven’t been touched by the influence of Shorter; as club president he is responsible for the entire physical operation of the club.
Shorter works with the club’s junior and Learn to Curl programs and was active in making sure that the club complies with the guidelines established by the passing of Rowan’s Law regarding concussion safety in youth sport.
Shorter also volunteers as the club’s ice and property director, heading the crew of ice technicians, and organizes work parties that produce stellar ice conditions for club members.
His greatest volunteer contribution came when the club was facing significant challenges with its ice plant as the 2017-18 season was winding down. At season’s end, Shorter co-ordinated a fundraising effort, as well as volunteer work parties, to upgrade the ice plant and replace all of the floor piping to completely restore the ice surface.
And if that effort wasn’t enough, Shorter also worked with the local fire department to produce an Ammonia Safety Protocol as well as a Fire Protection Policy for the Deep River Club.
CURLING CANADA AWARD OF ACHIEVEMENTToronto’s George Karrys has won the 2020 Curling Canada Award of Achievement.
Presented annually, Curling Canada’s Award of Achievement recognizes an individual who has contributed significantly to curling in one of four areas — builder, technical development (instructor, coach, official, ice technician), marketing and media.
Karrys has been involved with curling in just about every way imaginable.
As an athlete, he was a member of Canada’s

Olympic curling team that won silver at the 1998 Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, throwing lead rocks for Mike Harris.
As a journalist, Karrys wrote, edited and eventually owned The Curling News — the longest-running publication devoted to the Roaring Game. He also wrote for the Ontario Curling Report, Sun Media and Postmedia, and contributed as an analyst to the FAN 590 in Toronto, CBC and Sportsnet.
As a volunteer, he’s done charity work that raised money for various causes over the years.
Karrys has even been an actor, appearing in the 2002 movie Men With Brooms, for which he also served as a technical consultant.
Karrys continues to promote the sport of curling through his activity with The Curling News, social media and through his involvement with the Men/Women of Curling annual calendars, which raise funds in part for Curling Canada’s For the Love of Curling scholarship program.

JANET ARNOTT EXCEPTIONAL COACH AWARDLindsay Sparkes of Courtenay, British Columbia, is the inaugural winner of the Janet Arnott Exceptional Coach Award. The award is named after long-time Manitoba coach Janet Arnott, who passed away on June 24, 2019, after a short battle with cancer.
The award — which recognizes exceptional coaching contributions and accomplishments over a significant period of time — is presented only under special circumstances to an individual who has made a difference in the sport of curling as a result of his or her contribution to the development, well-being or sport-for-life aspirations of an athlete, athletes or team.
Sparkes blazed a trail for female curling coaches in Canada. An accomplished athlete, she is a three-time Canadian champion, twice as a skip, and also won a world championship in 1985 playing third for North Vancouver’s Linda Moore. She also won gold at the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary — when curling was a demonstration sport — as third for Moore.
Sparkes then moved to coaching and spent 10 years as Canada’s national women’s coach and team leader, working with Canadian teams at world championships and the 1998 and 2002 Olympics, and has participated in numerous high-performance camps across Canada.

When the four-day competition was completed, Team Europe was declared the winner with 37.5 points and awarded the Continental Cup trophy.

Needing just four of 18 available points heading into the final draw of the Continental Cup, Sweden's Oskar Eriksson — skipping a mixed squad against Team Canada's Kevin Koe — delivered the winning blow with a two-skin payoff in the fourth end.

JULIE SKINNER, CurlerJulie Skinner made her first impact on the national stage in 1987 when she skipped her British Columbia squad to a gold medal at the Canadian juniors in Prince
Albert, Saskatchewan, an event in which fellow Hall of Fame inductee Wayne Middaugh was skipping Team Ontario. A year later, in 1988 in Chamonix, France, Skinner skipped her Canadian championship team — third Judy Wood, second Susan Auty and lead Marla Geiger — to the first ever world junior women’s title.
That success was just the beginning of Skinner’s brilliant career, which saw her win two Scotties Tournament of Hearts — as a skip in 1991 with her B.C. team of twin sister Jodi Sutton at third, second Melissa Soligo and lead Karri Willms; and as third in 2000 with skip Kelley Law, second Georgina Wheatcroft and lead Diane Nelson — and a world championship silver medal in 1991 and gold in 2000. She also played in two Olympic Winter Games.
At the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France, where curling was a demonstration sport, Skinner skipped her 1991 Hearts champs to a bronze medal. Ten years later, in Salt Lake City, Utah, with curling having ascended to full-medal status four years earlier, Skinner won another bronze with her 2000 world championship squad.
Skinner played in six Scotties Tournament of Hearts — representing British Columbia four times and as Team Canada twice — and finished her career with two gold medals and two silvers.
WAYNE MIDDAUGH, CurlerConsidered among the most gifted curlers ever to play the game, Wayne Middaugh of Victoria Harbour, Ontario, was an impact player on every team for which he
played. He is the only curler ever to win three Briers and world championships at three different positions.
As a young front-ender coming out of juniors, he was part of the Russ Howard-skipped juggernaut that steamrolled to Brier and world titles in 1993 — a team that featured Middaugh at second, Peter Corner at lead and Glenn Howard at third.
After the 1994 season, Middaugh left Howard to skip his own team of third Graeme McCarrel, second Ian Tetley and lead Scott Bailey. It took a few years for the team to gel but in 1998 the foursome put it all together to win Brier and world championship titles.
Middaugh completed his collection of Brier and world championship gold medals in 2012, this time playing third for Glenn Howard, with Brent Laing at second and Craig Savill at lead.
Forced to retire after a skiing accident in January of 2016, Middaugh represented Ontario at nine Briers, finishing on the podium seven times, with three gold, two silver and two bronze medals. He has also won 11 Grand Slams in a storied career.
TERRY BEGIN, BuilderOttawa’s Terry Begin has been a tireless volunteer for curling in the nation’s capital and a pioneer of today’s statistical scoring system. While Begin volunteered at a series of
major Curling Canada championships in his hometown, it was his behind-the-scenes work on compiling curling statistics that continues to have an impact on how curling is viewed by media and the public.
Begin got his first taste of curling in 1952 in Olds, Alberta, where he joined a high-school curling league. He played at a high level in the Ottawa area and also worked as an instructor with the likes of fellow Canadian Curling Hall of Famer Warren Hansen.
Three new members have been inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame — curlers Julie Skinner and Wayne Middaugh and builder Terry Begin.
CANADIAN CURLING HALL OF FAME

He volunteered at numerous major events, including the 1967, ’77, ’79, ’93 and 2001 Briers, the 1990 Scott Tournament of Hearts and the 2017 Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings.
From 1977 to 1984, Begin was a member of the Canadian Curling Association’s public relations committee, including terms as chair and vice-chair. In 2000, he was inducted into the prestigious Governor General’s Curling Club.
Begin began to develop the scoring system for assessing players’ shooting percentages in the late 1970s and it made its formal debut at the 1980 Canadian Junior Men’s Curling
Championship in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. His system assigns point values to each attempted shot based on the outcome of the shot, using a scale of zero to four, with four being the highest. The guidelines he produced then are still largely relied upon by scorers at today’s Curling Canada championships.
From 1980 to 1986, Begin served as chief statistician for the Canadian Curling Association and worked closely with fellow Hall of Famer Brian Cassidy, who developed the computer software to make live shooting percentages available during games.

PAUL McLEAN AWARDTSN associate producer Geoff Kamada and production editor Shayne Dilling are co-winners of the 2020 Paul McLean Award.
The award was created in 2007 by the Canadian Curling Reporters — now the Professional Curling Media Association of Canada — in conjunction with TSN, in memory of McLean, a TSN executive producer, and his dedication to the sport of curling. McLean passed away on December 14, 2005, at his home in Brampton, Ontario, after a two-year battle with cancer. He was 39.
The award is presented annually to a person or persons in the media who have made an outstanding contribution to curling from behind the scenes.
Kamada and Dilling play a vital role in the on-air TSN product. Their gift for storytelling sets the tone for the broadcasts and connects the viewer with the event and the athletes.
They work tirelessly and while rarely seen outside of their editing suite, Kamada and Dilling have made a profound impact on what you’ve seen and will continue to see on TSN broadcasts.

A new national under-15 event, new opportunities for accomplished curling athletes to work with current
teams and various visions for the future of curling in Canada were unveiled in Kanata, Ontario, in September at the 2019 National Curling Congress and Curling Canada Annual General Meeting.
Representatives of Curling Canada’s 14 member associations gathered with Curling Canada’s board of governors and staff members in Kanata.
Two significant initiatives were unveiled.The first will see high-level athletes
with résumés of national and international accomplishments be able to consult with teams at sanctioned men’s, women’s and mixed doubles championships.
To apply to be a designated Curling Canada high-performance consultant, an athlete must have:• won a Hearts, Brier, Canada Cup or Olympic
trials, OR three Grand Slam events. (Does not include alternate players.)
• demonstrated interest in supporting Canadian high-performance teams.Full information is now available on
curling.ca.Meanwhile, Curling Canada will expand its
commitment to the next generation of Canadian curlers by introducing the Under-15 Rockfest in 2020-21.
There will be competition at the club level, with U-15 athletes advancing to four regional competitions operated by Curling Canada.
Ultimately, 20 individual athletes from each of those regional competitions will advance to the U-15 Canadian Rockfest, where they will participate in both singles and mixed team competition, stressing skills development and giving players the opportunity to compete at all four positions during the Canadian Rockfest.
Also discussed at the National Curling Congress were Safe Sport, risk management and event scheduling, as well as a national study from Deloitte Canada on the structure of the sport in our country and what can be done to improve it.
“Having everyone under one roof to talk about our sport and take a look in the mirror to see what we can do to make our sport better is just such a positive experience,” said Katherine Henderson, Curling Canada’s chief executive officer. “We have hard work in front of us, but it will lead to some amazing opportunities for curlers at every level across Canada.”
Meanwhile, Curling Canada welcomed three new members to its national board of governors. Elected to the board were Chana Martineau of Edmonton, Mitch Minken of Swift Current, Saskatchewan, and Cathy Dalziel of Eastern Passage, Nova Scotia. They replace outgoing governors Resby Coutts and Maureen Miller, who have completed their terms, and Brad Gibb, who resigned from the board. Martineau and Minken have four-year terms, while Dalziel assumes the board position vacated by Gibb, which has two years left.
Ottawa’s John Shea was elected chair of the Curling Canada board of governors for the 2019-20 season.
