Curling at Thornhill

Thornhill curling celebrates its 50th year in 2013 as do the following men and women who have curled continually since October 1963. Congratulations to Jean Dye, Jean Moore, Jean Beatty, Carolyn Carruthers, Russ Brankston, Ken Killer, Tom Karrys, Jack Junkin and Charles Springer.   Today, curling at Thornhill is alive and active seven days a week with members ranging in age from “Little Rock” youngsters to seniors in their early nineties. Some of the original “Tigers” have passed away but their dream has endured for the past 50 years.
