The Burntwood Curling Club celebrated the installation of their new ice plant.

On Saturday the club had their official ribbon cutting. In attendance was Olympic gold medalist Kaitlyn Lawes:

"I’m here with Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries as part of the IMPACT team and we’ve got 5 athletes that have been brought on to represent liquor and lotteries in the community. One of the things that liquor and lotteries has done, is sponsor the ice plant, which is really exciting. I’m so happy that I’ve had the opportunity to come up here and see it all come together and be a part of this grand opening".

Curlers got a chance to learn some tips from Lawes who assisted with Learn to Curl clinics during the day.

The Burntwood Curling Club had been fundraising for the new ice plant since last year.
