STATEMENTS BY MEMBERS
Swift Current Provincial Curling Tankard
Mr. Wall: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today and invite members to join
with me in recognizing the accomplishments of many Swift Current
area volunteers who recently helped host a very successful
provincial Tankard in my hometown.
Saskatchewan
is proud of its curling heritage and its reputation for being home
to world-class curlers. And, Mr. Speaker, from February 9 through
until the 13th, Swift Current was the centre for curling attention
in the province as the city hosted the 2000 Provincial Men’s
Curling Championship.
The Tankard
turned out to be a huge success. One of the main reasons for that
of course is the hard work and dedication of the organizing
committee. Volunteers spent over 16 months planning and preparing
for the men’s curling championship and they are to be commended
for their achievements.
Mr. Speaker,
I’m proud to represent the people of Swift Current who are known
for their talent in hosting world-class events. Congratulations to
local Tankard Chair, Dean James, and to all of his host-team
volunteers for an outstanding job at the Tankard. I’d also take
this opportunity to acknowledge the lead sponsorship of
Saskatchewan Wheat Pool.
Mr. Speaker,
Swift Current has worked hard to earn a reputation for hosting
best-ever events. Thanks to Dean, his army of volunteers, and the
corporate sponsors, the 2000 Tankard can now be added to that
list. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Some Hon.
Members: Hear, hear!
