🎉🥌RDJC WEEKLY SUNDAY SHOUT-OUT!! 🥌🎉

Yesterday’s bonspiel was made even more special thanks to three incredible guests who helped bring excitement to our day and deserve a huge shout-out and thank-you.

Thank you DERRICK MCKENZIE, for leading the curlers in a procession around the rink with the pipes and set the tone for an amazing day. What a way to kick things off!

Thank you to WILF EDGAR for throwing the inaugural rock, launching our Beat-the-Pro challenge and adding a special moment to the day.

A huge thank you to KEITH GLOVER for running the Beat-the-Pro station all day—measuring shots, keeping score, and celebrating the two juniors who managed to beat the pro and connecting with the kids throughout the day!

We are so grateful for your time, energy, and support in making this bonspiel such a memorable experience for our juniors. Your involvement helped make the day truly special!

What a fantastic day at the 3rd Annual Rob Armitage Legacy Junior FUN-spiel!!
