This year, the number of teams competing in the Governor General's trophy event playing down to represent Ontario increased from five last year to six this year. Several different clubs who hadn’t participated in a number of years signed up to play and the Governor General's Curling Club event coordinator is confident the event will continue to expand.
This year’s event was held on November 30th at the Ottawa Hunt Club. In the final, the Rideau Curling Club teams skipped by John Goold and Bill Blad defeated the Lanark Highlands Curling Club teams skipped by Billy Woods and Matt Dupuis by an aggregate score of 14-6. The win means that the Rideau teams will be representing Ontario on February 15th at the Hunt Club when they compete against Quebec for the Governor General’s trophy.
We encourage all GGCC members and friends to join us at the Ottawa Hunt and Golf Club on February 15, 2025 at 1:30 for the championship game between the Ontario and Quebec champions and stay for dinner. Details about the event and the dinner will be provided closer to the date.

This annual double rink event final was played February 10, 2024, at the Rideau Curling Club in Ottawa between the Quebec champions from the Buckingham Curling Club and the Ottawa Valley Curling Association champions from the Lanark Highlands Curling Club. Both clubs exchanged the lead through the first part of the two (2) games and after eight (8) ends Buckingham and Lanark were tied. In the ninth (9) end, the OVCA champions scored a total of four (4) points and in the final end the Quebec curlers were unable to respond.
It was a back-to-back win for the members from the Lanark Highlands C.C. (Team Dupuis & Team Woods). The trophy presentation was made by His Excellency Whit Fraser, the Vice-Regal Consort of Canada. (submitted by Alain Deschâtelets)
