“We are thrilled to once again have the opportunity to host the Ontario Curling Championships in Cobourg,” says Councillor Brian Darling. “What truly made the 2017 Tankard an event to remember was the sea of blue jacketed volunteers who made certain every detail was thought of. Thanks to the hundreds of volunteer hours put in by this community, the 2017 Tankard was a remarkable success, and we look forward to doing it all again in 2025.”
