Curling is a place for everyone. An individual’s journey into curling begins with community clubs. Therefore, it’s crucial that clubs are able to create environments where people feel welcome and enjoy their experience. This will help foster a new wave of diverse members. It is important that they feel safe and free of any discrimination or maltreatment.
