You are listening to The Future of Curling Masterclasses presented by Curling Canada, with support from the World Curling Federation’s Development Assistance Program.

In this episode we explore Curling Canada's Long Term Curler Development model, a customer journey into recreational curling, and strategies that progressively build confidence in new participants as they discover, try, learn, and play the sport of curling.
