The club and its members would like to express our sincere condolences to the family of Paul Gallant who passed away recently.  Paul is the brother of club member Darren Gallant.

Obituary:

It is with such profound sadness, grief and shock that we announce the passing of a dear son, brother and friend to many. Paul Joseph Gallant passed away at his late residence in North Rustico at the age of 60. Paul was the son of Mildred and the late Dennis Gallant.

He was the loving brother of Irwin (Karen), Danny (Grace), Ian (Barb), Wendy (Tim) and Darren (Gail); uncle to Joel, Brett, Genna, Taylor, Daphne, Lacey and Greta; great- uncle to Cadence, Emmy, Avery and Georgia; and friend to all.

Paul loved watching sports, from golf to baseball, to his beloved Edmonton Oilers .

Paul was a fixture in the community. He started working at the old Co-op store almost 40 years ago. Then moved across the street to the new store.

He always had a grin and a chat to greet everyone. Paul was one of those people who seemed to know everyone, and everyone knew him. He was a familiar face, a constant in a world where so many things change. He was a nice man, plain and simple. The kind who always said hello when he saw you. Nothing fancy, nothing complicated, just a genuinely good person who took a moment to acknowledge the people around him.

That’s the thing about small towns. When someone leaves us, they don’t just leave an empty space at their family’s table, they leave an empty space in the community itself.

Resting at Central Queen’s Funeral Home, New Glasgow, for visitation on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. The funeral will be held at Stella Maris Roman Catholic Church, North Rustico on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Interment in Stella Maris Cemetery.

If so desired, memorial donations to The Heart and Stroke Foundation or The North Rustico Food Bank would be appreciated. Let’s all honour Paul’s memory by remembering something he did so naturally, **Be kind, take a moment, say hello.**

The club schedule page is back and in full swing.

It can be accessed by clicking on the SCHEDULE heading in the menu or bookmark https://cornwallcurling.com/schedule/

We typically try to keep that updated so it has at least the next seven days showing. 

It’s the best way to see what the schedule is!

Our annual Learn to Curl starts on Tuesday and we could still use a few volunteers to help us on ice – particularly Tuesday evening when most of our regular helpers are curling in Crapaud.

If you can help Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday please let us know via email at: manager@cornwallcurling.com

Our amazing Development Coordinator Sarah leads the event – so you’ll mostly be helping our new curlers follow her instructions.l (i.e. you don’t have to be an expert or lead the class!)

Each evening starts at 6:30pm and is over around 8pm.

Registrations are going well for the season – including filling out our eight new Tuesday and Wednesday night openings in twelve minutes and having to adapt/expand our Novice program. 

But we still have room in several leagues for those looking to add a league or join the club.

Daytime Opportunities:

• Wednesday Daytime League (1 team spot available)
• Thursday Daytime Stick League (1 team spot available)
• Daytime Drop-In (individual)

Evening Opportunities:

• Thursday Evening Mixed League (individual entry)
• Friday Fun League (3 teams or individual entry)

Regular league play begins on Monday, October 26th – register soon so our drawmasters can get the schedules set!

The club and its members would like to express our sincere condolences to the family of Connie Auld who passed away recently.  Connie is the mother of club member Ann Auld.

OBITUARY

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Constance “Connie” Denison Auld on October 2, 2026 at The Mount Continuing Care Community.

Born in Magog, Quebec, on April 7, 1929, to the late Kathleen and Rowland Whitehead, Connie spent her early years in England and Switzerland before returning to Canada to work as a nurse in Toronto. There she met her husband Bill, and in 1960, they moved to his ancestral home in Malpeque, PEI, where they built a life together and raised their family until Bill’s passing in 1992.  

Connie was an inspiration. She loved life and lived it to the fullest. An avid traveller, she visited much of the world in her lifetime. Travel highlights for her included walking among the penguins in Antarctica, riding a camel in Tunisia, holding a koala in Australia, and seeing the wild horses on Sable Island. Connie was a registered nurse and caregiver, and she cared deeply for the welfare of animals. She was a dedicated community volunteer, a Life Member of the PEI Women’s Institute, a tour guide at Government House, and a cruise ship greeter. Connie loved opera, hosting family and friends at the Keir Homestead with her husband Bill, and swimming in the sea. She was a expert knitter, did intricate needlepoint and baked the best chocolate chip cookies.

To her loved ones, she was Mum, Grandma, Gran and Great Gran, Aunt Connie and simply “Con”. She will be forever loved and missed. 

Connie is survived by her daughters Julie (Randall) Hipson of Brookside, NS, and Ann Auld of Charlottetown; her grandchildren Will (Erika), Mark (Pema), Jack (Anaik) and Katie (Andrew); and her great grandchildren Josie and Lincoln. Preceded in death by her beloved husband Bill, her brother Richard and infant daughter Kathleen.

Our heartfelt gratitude to the staff at The Mount for the care and kindness they showed Connie during her brief stay with them.

An informal visitation and reception to celebrate Connie’s life will be held at the Belvedere Funeral Home on Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 3:00-5:00pm. Cremation has taken place. A private family graveside interment will take place at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the PEI Humane Society or The Upper Room Food Bank and Soup Kitchen.

The club will open at 1pm tomorrow and be open until 8pm.
