With the fall and winter Curling season fast approaching the Governing Body for the sport has outlined its latest COVID related measures for those that participate, with Curling Canada noting that unless you can provide proof of vaccination for COVID-19, you can't take to the pebbled ice this year.

"All athletes, coaches, fans, volunteers, media and event staff and contractors above the age of 12 will have to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to participate in, and attend, Curling Canada-affiliated events" -- From Curling Canada notice on Tuesday

Yesterday Curling Canada outlined their policy on Mandatory Vaccines which is to be put in place as soon as possible.

Curling is set for a return this fall, though the national governing
body has some new measures to be noted for local organizations.

In January, COVID resulted in the cancellation of the last season.

The Prince Rupert Curling Club has yet to announce its plans for the 2021-22 Curling season, though it would seem likely that they will be following the guidance of the national body when it comes to the launch for the year ahead.
