Since Shirley Berry and Arleen Harris are returning to Ontario to compete in another Seniors, it’s a perfect chance to flash back to January 2002, when they won the Cornwall Curling Club’s first ever non-junior provincial curling championship. We’ve been fortunate to win a lot of them since, but this was our very first!
