Russell welcoming Scottish curlers

Dear Residents:

Next week, five teams from Scotland will visit the Township of Russell community to compete in

the Strathcona Cup.

The Strathcona Cup is the world’s oldest international men’s curling bonspiel, which only takes

place once every five years. This year, the month-long curling bonspiel brings 60 curlers from

Scotland to play against Canadians in curling centres across Canada.

Our very own Russell Curling Club was chosen to host Game 28 during the 2023 Strathcona

Cup tour. It is an incredible honour for our community to be part of this prestigious international

tradition.

I want to extend a warm welcome our international guests. It is a pleasure to have you here for

this wonderful event.

Good luck to all players on January 31!

Yours truly,

Pierre Leroux

Mayor
