Mayor's Charity Bonspiel coming to Arthur and Area Curling Club

Wellington North Mayor Andy Lennox will host the annual Mayor's Charity Bonspiel in Arthur next month.

The event will take place on Friday, November 7 at the Arthur and Area Curling Club.

All the proceeds from the event will be going towards supporting the new Mount Forest Outdoor Pool fundraising campaign.

The event will feature two draws, with teams each playing two six-end games and enjoying a catered lunch prior to the awards. In addition to the curling, participants will have an opportunity to take part in a silent auction.

Last year's bonspiel raised $8,000 for local youth causes and organizations.

To register a team or learn more about sponsorship opportunities, reach out to Mike Wilson, Community Development Coordinator, at mwilson@wellington-north.com or 519-848-3620 ext. 4236.

"We’re excited to host the third annual Mayor’s Charity Bonspiel," said Mayor Andy Lennox. "Last year’s event was a great success, and we hope to build on that success in 2025 to benefit the new Mount Forest Outdoor Pool’s fundraising campaign. I invite everyone to get involved, whether it is by forming a team, sponsoring, or simply coming out to cheer on the curlers."
