Ina Harrison is one of our afternoon curlers and while she may not have been curling she was training in a clever way for the upcoming season by participating in the 65+ Track and Field event at the Saint John 55+ Canada Games.

Ina won a gold medal in women’s 65+ 1500 meter run and 2 silver medals. One silver in the women’s 65+ 200 Meter Dash. The other in the women’s 65+ 800 Meter Run.

Great Job Ina. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I think I better hit the gym right now

Time for More Curling News

I was lucky enough to get a few more details on the Mixed 55+ Team. They lost their first game to Alberta and their second game to BC. BC ended up winning the mixed 55+ Division. After the challenging start the team managed to pull out a win against Saskatchewan and then another against Alberta. The team played for Bronze next against Ontario. A game which was closely contested and came down to the last rock 😊

The team had a good crowd of Bluenose supporters with Vicki Graham, Alan Leck and JoAnne Burns. Who helped push the team forward with their Nova Scotia flag and loud cheering. Donalda made an appearance as well cheering on the team against BC and adding to the team spirit.

Great Job everyone you made us all proud.

A very big congratulations goes out to the members of the Bluenose who competed in the 55+ Games in Saint John, New Brunswick this August.

The Men's Team won GOLD with 6 wins and ZERO losses. Besting teams such as PEI, BC, ONT, NT, in the round robin. They played NB in the semi finals and MB in the finals.

In Addition, we had some success on the 55+ Mixed Team as well winning Two Games. They played for the Bronze losing to Ontario. I will get some pictures of them soon hopefully :)
