The club and its members would like to offer our condolences to the family of Darrell Hannam, father of club member Jeff Hannam.
The obituary is below:
Hannam, Darrell Erwin, 90, of Bridgetown, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on September 27, 2024, at Yarmouth Regional Hospital. Born in West Dalhousie, he was the son of the late Stanley and Muriel (Durling) Hannam. Darrell was a warden of his church and president of the Chamber of Commerce in all the communities in which he lived. He was the past president of the Kinsmen Club of Liverpool and District Governor, Maritime Provinces. Darrell retired from public service after 35 years in managerial positions with Employment and Immigration Canada. Since his retirement, he was active in politics and held positions as President, Treasurer and Chairman for Fund Raising for the Annapolis PC Association. Darrell cherished time with his family. From 1996 until the time it was sold, “The Beachcomber Cottage” in Hampton had been Darrell and Connie’s home five months a year and brought them great joy.
He is fondly remembered by his loving wife, Connie; sons, Jeffrey (Tracy) of Charlottetown and Jamie (Gylle) of Halifax; grandchildren, Alex (Laura), Zac, Erin, Matthew, and Clark; great-grandchildren Madison and Noah; brothers-in-law David Mack and David Nowe. He was predeceased by sisters Audrey Mack and Mona Nowe; sister-in-law Eleanor Duncan; and brothers-in-law Maurice and Allan Bent. Following Darrell’s wishes cremation has taken place under the care and direction of Kaulbach Family Funeral Home, Bridgetown. A funeral service will be held 11:00 a.m., Saturday, October 5, 2024, at St. James’s Anglican Church, Bridgetown, with Rev. Julia Ford officiating. Burial will be in St. Mary’s Anglican Church Cemetery.
Donations in memory may be sent to St. James Anglican Church, Bridgetown.

The club and its members would like to express our deepest condolences to the family of former member and Club President, Jim Farquharson.
His obituary can be found below:
It is with the deepest sadness that the family of Jim Farquharson announces his peaceful passing at the Provincial Palliative Care Centre on Tuesday, October 1, 2024, at the age of 78 years. Jim will forever be missed by his loving wife of 56 years, Diane (Waite), his children, Lisa (Bruce Carson) and Michael (Michelle), his grandchildren, Jessica Carson (Ryan Hill), Alex Carson, and Chase Farquharson, and his great-granddaughter, Ava Hill. He will also be deeply missed by his siblings Carol Anne (Terry Donnelly), Mary Jane (Dale Zinck), Susan (Roy Ridlington), Robert (Dianne), Ruth (Larry Welton), John (Donna); his sisters-in-law Lorna (Myron Taylor) and Brenda (Alan Rayner); as well as many ‘favourite’ nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and many friends.
Jim was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Clare (MacMillan)
Jim enjoyed a long and successful career with the Royal Bank of Canada, where he worked from 1966 until his retirement in 2002. He enjoyed retirement even more, having more time devote to his favourite pastimes, one of which was curling. He was a member of three provincial championship teams, and was a past President of the Cornwall Curling Club, where he dedicated much of his time to the sport he loved. He also was very proud and honoured to represent PEI and Canada at the Strathcona Cup in Scotland in 2009.
He was happiest at the cottage he and Diane built in Darnley, surrounded by family and friends, telling stories and making memories. If he wasn’t at the cottage, he could be found on the golf course or combing the beaches of Thunder Cove with his metal detector in search of hidden treasures. During the winter, he continued this hobby on the shores of St. Augustine, Florida. He cherished the friends he joined for the annual Elroy Ramsay Memorial Bridge Tournament, a tradition that spanned over 30 years. Those games brought him endless joy and laughter, creating a bond that will be fondly remembered by all involved.
Jim left a lasting impression on everyone he met, even just briefly. His big smile, warm hug, compassion, kindness and sense of humour will be missed by all who knew him.
The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses and staff at the PEI Cancer Treatment Centre, and the Provincial Palliative Care Centre for their compassion, care and support.
Resting at MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. Funeral Friday from Zion Presbyterian Church at 11:00 a.m. Interment in Floral Hills Memorial Gardens.

A special thanks to James and Raspberry Point Oysters for providing oysters and shucking at our Monday Night Open House!
They were a huge hit.

We are so grateful to Cow’s Creamery who donated both butter and cheese for our breakfasts.
The cheese, in particular, has been a huge hit with the teams – one of the European teams said it was the first time in a while they had “good cheese” in North America!
You should have seen their faces when we informed them that Cow’s was also famous for their ice cream.

A few members have been confused by the new system so here’s a quick clarification.
Our membership structure remains the same as it has been for the past several years.
The cost of those memberships can be found here: https://cornwallcurling.com/membership/rates/
The amount you see on those charts will be what you pay for your membership this year.
HOWEVER, you will simply register for the leagues you want to play in and the computer will AUTOMATICALLY give you the appropriate discount for your second, third, fourth, etc. leagues.
All the adult leagues will say $270 in the Curling IO system – but WHEN ADDED TO YOUR CART they will be discounted appropriately.
In the cart the first league will be $270, but the second league will be discounted by $190 automatically, the third by $210 automatically, and the fourth or beyond by 100 percent automatically.
There are several videos available at https://cornwallcurling.com/membership/curlingio/
The video labeled HOW TO REGISTER FOR A LEAGUE OR LEAGUES IN CURLING IO will be the most informative for returning members as it explains the changes.
And as always, feel free to call, email, or come into the office to ask the club manager any questions or to assist in the registration process.

Membership and league registration for RETURNING MEMBERS is now OPEN!!
Membership and league registration for NEW MEMBERS will open Monday, September 23rd at 9:00am.
Registration will be slightly different this year. Instead of picking a membership level and then picking leagues, this year everyone will simply pick the leagues that they want to participate in and Curling IO will automatically give discounts on those leagues based on the number of leagues selected.
If you are uncomfortable with the registration process, please feel free to come to the club and the club manager will gladly help you get registered!
NOTE: For our Tuesday evening, Wednesday daytime, and Wednesday evening team-based leagues the following rules have been clarified this year:
- Returning teams now have a deadline to confirm their return AND register their team for the upcoming season. This year that deadline will be Friday, September 27th. If your team hasn’t confirmed and registered by Friday, September 27th, you may still request to be in a league, but we cannot guarantee your place, and you’ll go on the waitlist in the order your request has been received.
- A returning team is a team with at least three out of four members returning. Two returning players are NOT guaranteed a spot in the following season. However, if those two have confirmed their intention to play, have two additional players lined up, and asked to be added to the waitlist then they will automatically jump to the top of the waitlist (in the order their request was received in the case of multiple two returning player teams). Note: All three of the above requirements must be met – we cannot hold spaces for teams that aren’t fully assembled.

I am very excited to welcome everyone back for the 2024-2025 curling season at the Cornwall Curling Club!
Registration for returning members opens on Monday, September 16th at 9:00am. New members can begin registering one week later, on Monday, September 23rd at 9:00am.
We are doing registration slightly differently this year – instead of going to products page of Curling IO and selecting a membership the going to the leagues page to select the leagues, we are going to allow Curling IO to use it’s computing power and when you go to register you will land on the league page and you’ll just select the leagues that you want to play. The membership structure remains the same though.
Our updated membership rates are available at: https://cornwallcurling.com/membership/rates/
Additionally, we have added a Curling IO Instructional page with videos to help those new to the system know how to set up a profile and those returning to the system to see how we are doing registration this year. I’m sure there will be some hiccups in the transition but in the long run we believe this will be a much simpler and efficient way of registering. Those videos can be found at: https://cornwallcurling.com/membership/curlingio/
Once you are ready to register simply go to https://cornwall.curling.io
While registration won’t open until Monday, you can view the various leagues on the Curling IO site now.
As always if you are uncomfortable in any way with the Curling IO software, please do not hesitate to call me or drop by the club – I can assist you and would be glad to do so. I know the system forwards and backwards and it’s very quick and easy on my end.
NOTE: As part of the new registration system if any of the following describe you, you’ll need to get a DISCOUNT or INVITE CODE from the club manager.
- Registering for a Couples Unlimited (Day/Night) membership
- Registering for a Full-Time Student (19+) Unlimited membership
- Using the Sunday Junior Curling program as the 2nd Practice of your Junior Practice Membership
- Doing a Two Session Daytime membership and your only two sessions are BOTH Wednesday Daytime League AND Thursday Stick League
- Participating in the Monday Commercial League AND any other Cornwall Curling Club leagues

The club would like to extend our condolences to the family of Catherine Clarey on her recent passing.
Their obituary
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Cathy Clarey (nee O’Rourke), of Charlottetown, at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on July 9, 2024 at the age of 75, after a brief illness.
Beloved wife of 52 years and best friend of the late Alva Clarey. Cherished mother of Peter (Olena) Clarey of Toronto and Gillian (Randy) Birss of Edmonton. Treasured grandmother of Tristan (Stephanie), Shannon (Connor) Roache, Richard and Daria Clarey. Step-Grandmother of Rina and Sam Birss. Fondly remembered sister of Robert (Gloria) O’Rourke, Patricia (Joaquin) Bengochea, Barb (Michael) O’Toole, Tom (Anne Marie) O’Rourke, and predeceased by brother Paul O’Rourke. She was the daughter of the late Daniel and Charlotte O’Rourke of Charlottetown, where Cathy was born and raised.
Cathy was a devoted wife and mother, and accounting clerk by trade. After retirement she loved nothing more than a great game of lawn bowling or stick curling which she and Alva played each season. She also loved aquafitness and cruising with her best childhood friend, Patsy Mills.
Cathy’s children and grandchildren were the light of her life and we loved her beyond words. She will always be remembered for her love of travel, adventure, generosity, amazing sense of humour, but most of all her love of life.
The Clarey and Birss family would like to thank Dr. Ellsworth and nursing staff of Unit 2 for the care and kindness shown. Special thanks to Debbie Clarey for always being so supportive in our times of need, your kindness will be remembered.
There will be no visitation or funeral service by personal request as the family will hold a private ceremony at a later date so Cathy and Alva’s ashes can be together forever.
If so desired, donations may be made to the Provincial Palliative Care Centre, who cared for her beloved Alva in July of 2023.
Arrangements entrusted to the Hennessey Cutcliffe Charlottetown Funeral Home. Online condolences can be made at www.islandowned.ca

The club would like to extend our condolences to the family of club member Joseph (Gie) Rogers who passed away on Wednesday.
His obituary:
Wednesday, May 15th, 2024, in Queen Elizabeth Hospital ICU, surrounded by his family, Gie sailed into his next adventure.
Gie was raised, and attended school, in Richmond Hill, ON. He played tenor sax in the school band and was a keen athlete, participating in intermural football as well as track and field. A severe knee injury during a game led to less strenuous pursuits.
Graduating from Langstaff Secondary school in 1973, as an Ontario Scholar, he pursued computer engineering and was a graduate of the first class of System Design Engineering at University of Waterloo in 1979.
He spent his early career creating systems at Stelco in Hamilton. Always curious, and learning, he also earned his MBA from McMaster University during those years. After retiring from Stelco, he worked in the robotics field and later went on to run his own consulting firm in Hamilton. In 2013, he accepted a position with CGI in Charlottetown, PEI where he worked until his retirement in 2019.
During his time in Hamilton, he was an avid sailor and camper with family and a group of lifelong friends. He started curling with his wife, Nancy, in 2010, and after the move to Prince Edward Island became very involved with the PEI Special Olympics program.
He had a deep love, and extensive collection, of music, especially jazz. Winter Jazz events at The Pour House were some of his favourite occasions. He was an avid home cook, and his Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas ham and split pea soup will be sorely missed by his family.
He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph Rees Rogers and Margaret Alice Hurlburt, and is survived by his wife and partner of 15 years, Nancy MacPhee; sons, Meyer Rees Rogers, Toronto, Ethan Lewis Rogers (Sydney Shilling), Toronto; sister, Marg Rogers, Spokane WA; nephews Rob Downing, Spokane, WA and Chris Downing , Seattle, WA; many cherished nieces, nephews and cousins in the extended Hurlburt, White, Ger, MacPhee, Bushell, Doane, Boodoosingh families.
The family would like to express sincere thanks for the incredibly kind and compassionate care Gie received at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Intensive Care Unit #1.
A celebration of life to be held at a later date. Memorial donations suggested to PEI Special Olympics, The Heart and Stroke Foundation, or the charity of your choice.
