Ontario Curling Tankard appears to be a GO

 

 

Yesterday’s announcement (Jan. 20) by the province has put the Port Elgin Chrysler ’22 Ontario Tankard back on the calendar.

Spectators will be able to watch world class curling, however in a safe environment distinctly different from normal events. The new regulations allow the event to proceed at 50% capacity, a crowd size appreciated by the curlers themselves and sufficient to make the event a success.

Players, spectators and officials will be required to observe stringent protocols and, amongst other changes, food and beverage will not be available in the arena. While food and beverage has always been a feature at Tankards, local restaurants will be open to 50% capacity as well, allowing visitors to patronize the many local establishments.

The event is being live streamed, broadcasting the Tankard and many of it’s sponsors to a wide local and international audience. Two games are being streamed each draw. To access you can go to CurlONTV.ca then click go live.

The host committee is excited to be back in business. Plans will be modified to accommodate the new scenario and regular updates will be provided to all stakeholders.
