Weeklong Fun Spiel

7

Weeklong event fun curling spiel.  With lots of food and laughter.

The North Bay Granite Club is gearing up for another six months of curling and plans to jumpstart the season with the annual Community Funspiel, sponsored by Joey’s Only Seafood Restaurant. True to the name, this event is for the community to enjoy. Regardless of age, gender, or ability, the only criteria for entry is that you are human and that you have $20 to invest.

Although curling teams are traditionally made up of four players, many will rotate through a larger lineup based on availability throughout the week. This makes the Community Funspiel an ideal event for family, friends, or co-workers to get out and socialize while trying something new. For $80, in addition to an item of $20 value for the prize table, teams will play three six-end games on either Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday/Friday evenings during the week of Oct. 15-19.

Much is planned for after the curling has concluded, so curlers should intend to stick around. Finding enjoyment off the ice is as much about being a curler as what occurs on the slippery surface — therefore, food and entertainment will be provided nightly. Among the highlighted activities will be minnow races presented by Dave Bennett of CTV (Monday/Tuesday), live acoustic music by Gary Davison (Wednesday/Thursday), and a rocking Friday night with Duke Marvelous and company (music starting at 7 p.m). Free lessons will be provided Oct. 9-11 each night from 7 to 8 :30 p.m. and Oct. 13 from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. prior to the Funspiel, for those seeking a slight edge over their rookie counterparts.

Registration for one or all of these sessions is open by visiting the Granite Club online (www.nbgcc.ca ) or contacting the office by phone (705-472-6740). Beyond the opening activities, there is an entire season of endless winter fun planned for members of the club and the community. The board of directors presided over by Mary Shannon has been hard at work throughout the summer to make improvements to the club (freshly painted), the ice schedule (maximized play time for all curlers), membership dues (ensuring the most value for your money), and increased visibility (to facilitate growth in every form and level of curling).

For more information, visit us at one of two Open Houses scheduled for early October. The Open Houses are scheduled for Oct. 4 at 6 p.m. and Oct. 13 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to register for desired leagues, lessons, programs and special events. Food and beverages will be provided at the Oct. 4 instalment, which is to be preceded by the fall annual general meeting of members at 5:30 p.m. Embrace the cool weather this fall and venture down to the Granite Club with your clean indoor running shoes and stretchy pants for a classic Canadian pastime.

Family Day in Canada – February 15th

4

Family Day is observed in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan on the 15th of February. In British Columbia, Family Day falls on the second Monday of February. Family Day gives families the chance to spend time together. This holiday celebrates the importance of families and family life to people and their communities.

Activities to discover during that day…

On Family Day, many people plan and take part in activities aimed at the whole family. These include visiting art exhibitions, watching movies, skating on outdoor ice rinks, playing board games and taking part in craft activities.

As the weather is usually very cold in February, hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies are popular snacks. Other people use the long weekend as an opportunity for a short winter break or to travel to visit family members or friends.

Public Life

In the provinces of Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia many people have a day off work and schools are generally closed on Family Day. Many businesses and organizations are closed, but post offices may be open. Public transport services may run to their usual or reduced timetables.

In the province of Manitoba, the third Monday of February is a general holiday, known as Louis Riel Day. Many people have a day off work and school and many businesses, organizations and stores are closed. In some communities, stores are open after noon. Public transport services may run to Sunday or holiday timetables. In rural areas, there may be no services.

Background history of the « family day »

Family Day was first held in Canada in the province of Alberta in 1990. It is supposed to reflect the values of family and home that were important to the pioneers who founded Alberta, and give workers the opportunity to spend more time with their families. Family Day was introduced in Saskatchewan in 2007 and in Ontario in 2008. British Columbia observes Family Day as a statutory holiday for the first time in 2013. One of the reasons for introducing Family Day was that there was a long period when there were no holidays from New Year’s Day until Good Friday.
