Canada_Tour_application_form_2026.docx

Our Rotarian curling friends in Canada have once again invited Scottish Rotarians to select a team of 16-18 Rotarian curlers to spend 3 weeks being home hosted in  Ontario, Canada, in November in 2026. 

This has been the trip of a lifetime for those who have been lucky to have been selected in the past, and engenders fantastic fellowship, and friendships that last a lifetime. We are looking for 16-18 curlers of all abilities to represent Scotland in the Bob Mackintosh Transatlantic Quaich, which is played over a number of games in approximately 12 different towns and cities. There is also a friendly game on arrival in Montreal, plus the final game for the Duddingston Trophy, against the 2024 Canadian Rotarian Tourists to Scotland. 

Evenings consist of organised Dinners, Rotary Meetings, house parties, and a few evenings at home with your host families. If you can entertain by telling jokes, singing or dancing etc., this is always taken into consideration when the final selection is undertaken.

There are opportunities to sightsee, and get to know the local culture, as your hosts will be pleased to make sure that your stay is an enjoyable one. We are looking for 16 or 18 curlers, as many ice rinks are 4 sheet Curling Rinks and so only 16 players will be required. If we have 18 curlers then,there will always two people in reserve to cover any eventualities.

If you are interested in applying, please complete and return the attached Application Form, and if you require any further information please contact Anna Martin, Past Captain of the 2022 Tour to Canada, whose contact details are shown above.
