Sudbury Curler Sara Guy Moves Across the Country
Changes to import rules in curling have significantly transformed the Canadian competitive scene. Many teams now face vast distances between players that would have been unworkable just a decade ago.
Within this new reality, 27-year-old Marymount Academy graduate Sara Guy stands out. The Laurentian nursing alum was interviewed at the Northern Credit Union Community Centre on Wednesday, only two days after returning from a work assignment in Yellowknife.
Her work frequently takes her to remote parts of the North, including several communities in the Northwest Territories and Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.
Life and Work in the Far North
Cambridge Bay, with fewer than 2,000 residents, is one of only two communities on Victoria Island. It hosts the Canadian High Arctic Research Station and serves as a major stop for passenger and research vessels navigating the Northwest Passage.
"It’s a long, long way from there to Sudbury."
Local Curling Event
Meanwhile, local curlers are preparing for the Swiss Chalet Women’s Curling Stadium Spiel in North Bay this weekend, where Sudbury talent, including Sara, will represent the region once again.
Author’s Summary: The story follows Sudbury curler and nurse Sara Guy, whose work in Canada’s High Arctic contrasts sharply with her home life in northern Ontario.
