Two governors were re-elected, and one new governor was elected, to the Curling Canada Board of Governors, it was confirmed Saturday during the organization’s Annual General Meeting. The governing body for the sport of curling in Canada conducted its virtual AGM on Saturday, bringing together Canada’s 14 Member Associations along with invited guests to talk about the past season, as well as elect new members to the Board of Governors. There were three available spots after Roselle Gonsalves of Edmonton and Scott Hindle of Ottawa completed their terms, and Amy Nixon of Calgary departed the Board in July after voluntarily returning to the Board earlier in the season to help with on-boarding four new Governors. Both Gonsalves and Hindle ran for re-election and won four-year terms. Also, newcomer Jeremy Woo of Winnipeg was elected to a two-year term. Those three join fellow Governors Ray Baker of Dauphin, Man., Jennifer Howard of Courtice, Ont., Kathy O’Rourke of Cumberland, P.E.I., Darren Oryniak of Winnipeg, Teri Palynchuk of Nanaimo, B.C., Calvin Seaman of Calgary, and Michael Szajewski of Kenora, Ont. Szajewski was re-elected as Chair of the Board of Governors.
