You may have watched the sport of curling on TV, but have you tried it? S.U.C.C.E.S.S. Richmond Service Centre offered an opportunity on November 5, 2024, for 15 Ukrainian newcomers to explore and try curling at Richmond Curling Center.
The event kicked off in the evening with a demonstration of how to curl with instructors from the Curling Center. The participants observed and learned more about the rules of this sport. City staff members were also engaged in this event. They introduced several recreation programs for winter and other sports and leisure programs in Richmond. The most exciting part of the event was the opportunity to try curling on ice. The participants were divided into 3 groups, and each participant had the chance to try this sport.
Everyone had an evening full of excitement and fun. One of the participants wrote as feedback: "Everything was organized at the highest level. The instructors are professional, patient and attentive to each participant. Curling turns out to be much more interesting than I imagined. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to try something new and unusual."
