Another successful Advocis Curling Funspiel took place on March 7th @ the North Hill Curling Club. Besides being a newly renovated facility, the staff was great, making themselves available for any last minute changes or accommodations we needed. The food was abundant and very tasty. All in all a great venue. We will definitely go back in 2015.

On Tuesday, November 5th, Advocis Calgary is sponsoring a Blood Donor day in conjunction with Canadian Blood Services. The need for blood in our city is never ending.
