Mayoral Statement Congratulating Winnipeg's Team Jones

Released: December 7, 2013 at 9:45 p.m.
In front of a hometown crowd at the MTS Centre, Team Jones, from the St. Vital Curling Club, tonight earned the right to represent Canada at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, in February.

Winnipeg, MB

I am thrilled that Winnipeg's own Jennifer Jones, along with her team members - lead Dawn McEwen, second Jill Officer, third Kaitlyn Lawes, alternate Kirsten Wall and coach Janet Arnott - will represent Canada in curling at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

I congratulate all the members of the team for the hard work, determination and dedication shown throughout these Canadian Curling Trials, and through years of practice and bonspiel play to earn the rare honour of representing Canada at the Winter Olympics.

We are delighted that this win comes in Winnipeg at the 2013 Tim Hortons Roar Of The Rings. All of Winnipeg celebrates your achievement and wishes you the very best as you go for gold in Sochi.

Yours Sincerely,
Mayor Sam Katz
