Chilliwack – In an on line memo from Curl BC, Chilliwack Curling Club’s Manage Bruce Renwickis now the new Competitions Manager for Curl BC.
From the media release:
Curl BC announce that Bruce Renwick has been hired as the organization’s new Competitions Manager.
With 27 years’ experience as manager of the Chilliwack Curling Club—and hosting special curling events—Renwick is particularly suited to successfully run Curl BC’s provincial championship system.
“During my years at Chilliwack,” he says, “we were able to host a Continental Cup, Canadian Seniors, Police and Firefighters Championships, BC Men’s, Mixed (twice), High Schools, Firefighters, Police and Juniors as well as numerous regional playdowns with many of them being televised.
An inductee to the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame, Renwick has been a curler since the age of 12.
As a competitor, Renwick has played in the BC High Schools, the BC Mixed, and the BC Men’s championships.
As a curling professional, he took the Chilliwack Curling Club from its 1950s-vintage building to a brand-new state-of-the-art eight-sheet club, skillfully navigating through the city’s building process.
Renwick will manage Curl BC’s competitions from Chilliwack and oversee the hiring of individual event managers for each of the BC championships, freeing up time to concentrate on planning and administration (anyone interested in becoming an event manager for a BC championship should contact him at brenwick@curlbc.ca).
“My hope is to build back the numbers of entries in the playdowns to ensure that it’s attractive to clubs that host the events. I look forward to working with the staff at Curl BC, and the competitive curlers in the province to continue to build the game of Curling into the future.”
