Scottish Curlers To Play at the Fenelon Falls Curling Club During 2023 Strathcona Cup

Once every 10 years, Canada plays host to the world’s oldest international men’s curling bonspiel, the “Strathcona Cup”. This month-long curling bonspiel brings together 60 male curlers from Scotland to play against Canadians in curling centres across Canada.

The competition comprises three distinct tours (western, central and eastern Canada). Now in its 120th year, the next Strathcona Cup will be competed for in January 2023. The 2023 Strathcona Cup Central tour (comprising 20 curlers – five teams) will begin in Toronto on January 11, 2023. 

The Fenelon Falls Curling Club  has accepted the Eastern Strathcona Cup organizing committee’s invitation to host the Scottish curlers during their stop in Kawarthas from January 22nd - 23rd.  One game involving Scottish and Victoria County curlers will take place January 22, 2023.

 It will be an exciting day of curling for participants.  Opening ceremonies at 9:30 a.m. feature all the players being piped onto the ice.

We hope to have local dignitaries in attendance as well as a number of guests to witness the ceremonial throwing of the first rock.
