KAMLOOPS — The list of cities to host a Scotties, Brier, Canada Cup and both men’s and women’s world championship is short — extremely short. In fact, it is just one city long — Brandon, Manitoba. In a few short days, Kamloops will join that list of curling royalty.
“It goes to show how good of host we are in our city. It means a lot to me, I’ve been to the Scotties 20 times as a volunteer,” said Organizing Committee Vice-Chair Linda Bolton. “To actually see it in our own town and be on this side of the fence and to be welcoming teams. It’s very, very exciting.”
With the days dwindling before the first rock is thrown, crews were on scene Tuesday rigging up cameras, building a broadcast booth, and preparing the arena to welcome Canada’s best curlers to the Tournament Capital.
