More than 400 female curlers from across Canada gathered at the Ottawa Curling Club this week for the Crystal Heart Curling Classic, Canada’s largest recreational women’s bonspiel in support of the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
It was the event’s 25th anniversary, and the women raised about $75,000.
That pushed the total amount raised by the event for research into women’s heart and brain health past the $1.7-million mark.
