The USWCA Senior Women’s Friendship Tour Committee is pleased to announce that Curl Canada has invited a tour group of U.S. women to curl in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The tentative dates are November 3-14, 2024 (these dates may change slightly as plans solidify). This will be the sixth Friendship Tour to Canada from the United States under the auspices of the USWCA.
The Friendship Tour will consist of 16 U.S. women from the four USWCA regions. It will begin in Toronto and end in Montreal with stops at approximately eight separate curling clubs.
The 16 tour members were selected by lottery during the USWCA National Bonspiel at the St. Paul Curling Club in February 2024, four from each of the four regions (West, Wisconsin, Central, and East). Two alternates will also be drawn from the remaining pool of applicants.
