Championship curling returns to Melfort

Nov 3, 2017 | 2:48 PM

For the first time since 2013, the City of Melfort is hosting a provincial curling championship.

The 2018 Scotties Tournament of Hearts will take place at the Northern Lights Palace from Jan. 2 to7, 2018. Host committee chair Corrie Fischl is excited at the prospects.

“We’re thrilled, absolutely thrilled,” she said. “The [Northern Lights] Palace always looks amazing when turned into a curling venue; it looks so professional. It’s a provincial event, but it looks like a national championship event.”

Nine women’s teams from across Saskatchewan will make up the field and Fischl is expecting a high calibre competition.
