We will be proudly wearing this design as our way to honour Indigenous people in the NWT & across Canada & specifically Indigenous women & girls. Designed by Kyra McDonald & printed by @DynastyCurling. The saying translates to One Land, Many Voices in the Gwich’in language.

Great piece by Al Cameron that everyone should read.
Please people, do better!! Women already face so many insecurities so for people to bash them & point out how we look or sound when on the ice is NOT ok. We will continue to yell as loud as we want to, that’s passion not noise.
Six days into the Brier and not a single emailed fan complaint about players screaming too loud. Truly wish I could say the same during the Scotties. But, of course, I can't. It's International Women's Day, and you should read this column about why that crap needs to stop.

We are proud to be female athletes, but sometimes its not as easy as it seems! Curling Canada has partnered with Women in Sport to raise awareness to the challenges that Women face as athletes. Please check out the post below to learn how you can help support female athletes:
High-level curling demands strategizing, taking charge and intense focus. Men with these skills are admired, but women are perceived as too serious. Women should be judged on their athletic abilities, not how pleasantly they smile as they play ➡️ curling.ca/gender-equity-cam…
