Curling Canada to make a major announcement in Kelowna

Curling Canada officials will be in Kelowna later this week to make an "important" announcement.

According to a media advisory issued today, Oct. 24, the national curling organization will be making an announcement along with members of the Kelowna curling community.

A spokesperson for the national curling organization said the announcement isn't about the upcoming 2023 Pan Continental Curling Championships that are taking place in Kelowna from Oct. 29 to Nov. 4, but he wouldn't say what Friday's announcement is about other than it's a "major curling announcement."

More details will be made available at a news conference on Friday.

As a political scientist interested in social justice issues and current events, I hold topics of
politics, inequalities, community news, arts, and culture close to my heart. I find myself
privileged to be reporting local news, because local journalism is where us citizens go to get
access to information and news that directly impact our livelihoods. That is what I love about
it; I believe journalism to be the most important part for our community to be aware,
informed, and tightly bonded by the knowledge of what is happening around us. I am a fierce
believer in journalism being the fourth power of a democracy because, famously, knowledge
is power, and journalism puts that power in the hands of our community so that we can
continue growing, building bonds between each other and continuously keep learning about
ourselves.
