Mayor’s Charity Bonspiel hits the ice Nov. 6 at Mount Forest Curling Club
MOUNT FOREST – The Wellington North community is gearing up for a day of curling, camaraderie and charity at the fourth annual Mayor’s Charity Bonspiel, taking place on Nov. 6 at the Mount Forest Curling Club.
Organizers say this year’s event promises to bring together local businesses, community leaders and residents for a day of friendly competition, with proceeds from the event being donated to local youth initiatives and programs that serve Wellington North residents.
The event will feature two draws, with teams each playing two six-end games and enjoying a catered lunch prior to the awards.
In addition to the curling, participants will have an opportunity to take part in a silent auction and a “beat the mayor” contest.
The event returns following the success of last year’s Arthur bonspiel.
In 2025, the event raised $10,245 for the new Mount Forest outdoor pool fundraising campaign.
Organizers are hoping this year’s event exceeds that total.
There are multiples ways to support this event:
– entering a four-person team;
– donating a silent auction item; or
– through event sponsorship.
“We’re excited to host the fourth annual Mayor’s Charity Bonspiel,” stated Mayor Andy Lennox in a press release.
“Last year’s event was a great success, and we hope to build on that success in 2026.
“I invite everyone to get involved, whether it is by forming a team, sponsoring, or simply coming out to cheer on the curlers.”
