Following Curling Canada's lead, the Truro Curling Club will be adopting the World Curling Federation's No-Tick Shot rule for all events starting in the 2023-24 season.
The No-Tick Shot rule now being used for all Curling Canada events is as follows:
If, prior to the delivery of the sixth stone of an end, a delivered stone causes either directly or indirectly, an opposition stone in the Free Guard Zone (FGZ) which is touching the center line to be moved to an off-center line position or to a position outside the FGZ, the non-offending team has the option to:
(i) Remove the delivered stone from play, and replace all stones that were displaced to their positions prior to the violation taking place; or
(ii) Leave all stones where they came to rest.
If the stone is moved from the center line to an out-of-play position, then the FGZ rule applies.
This does not apply for Wheelchair Curling or for Mixed Doubles competitions.
** Registration Extended** to November 8th. Don't miss out on this great event for a great cause.

Earlier this Spring, a group of Volunteers from the Club participated in the Colchester Clean Initiative, in conjunction with Earth Day, organized by the Municipality of Colchester. The group, consisting of the the following Club Members: Glenn Ross, Betty Keel, John & Sue Murray, Stuart MacNeil, Amanda Garvie, Michaela O'Halloran, Emily Pipes, Ron Smith, & Nancy Smith, cleaned up the area around Exit 17 of Hwy 104, and had a great time doing so! Not only was being part of such an important event in our Community rewarding in and of itself, the Club was recently one of 10 teams (of the 40 that participated) selected to win $500! Shown accepting the Cheque on behalf of Truro Curling Club is the Club's Volunteer Co-ordinator for this event, Nancy Smith, and Club President, Nevin Jackson.
