Ituna Hosts Senior Girls’ High School Curling Provincial Championship

Mr. Keisig: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Curling is Saskatchewan’s provincial sport, and while many people were focused on the Brier in Regina, an equally important bonspiel was also happening this weekend. The Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association senior girls’ provincial championship bonspiel was held in Ituna on Friday and Saturday.

Schools competed at the local, regional, and district levels, and eight teams qualified for the provincial championships. Ituna School, along with parents, community members, and local businesses hosted a fantastic event at the local curling rink. The organizers had a professional bagpiper pipe the athletes in on a phenomenal opening ceremonies. And everyone who attended had the opportunity to sample some of Ituna’s famous homemade deep-fried perogies. Even the Premier knows what I’m talking about.

Congratulations to the North Battleford composite and Moose Jaw Peacock to make it to the finals, with Moose Jaw Peacock winning the senior girls’ provincial championship. A big shoutout to teacher Kayla Onufreychuk for coaching the Ituna girls’ team and spearheading the whole weekend, and to all teachers across the province for coaching, mentoring, and encouraging students to take up the great sport of curling. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
