Ontario Winter Games 2012


Collingwood is hosting these games and I had a neat opportunity to volunteer for several 'shifts'. Despite my volunteer application indicating other strengths and completely omitting anything to do with money and accounting I have been working in admissions at the Curling venue and selling the daily/multiday wristbands to spectators.  

The curling involved 3 separate tournaments: 6 teams of girls, 6 teams of boys, 6 teams of adult wheelchair players. It was a tremendous atmosphere full of camaraderie, and keen competition. Although I have watched it on the television, seeing it close up really made me appreciate the skills and team spirit required.

Yes, I am tempted ... maybe next year.
