Changes to import rules in curling have reshaped Canada's competitive scene, causing many teams to manage long distances between teammates, which was rare a decade ago. Even so, 27-year-old Marymount Academy graduate Sara Guy's experience stands out in 2025.
Just two days after returning from Yellowknife, Sara shared her experiences at the Northern Credit Union Community Centre. Her work takes her to remote Northern outposts including Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.
With fewer than 2,000 residents, Cambridge Bay is one of only two settlements on Victoria Island. It houses the Canadian High Arctic Research Station and serves as a key stop for passenger and research vessels navigating the Northwest Passage.
"A catchup chat with 27-year-old Marymount Academy graduate Sara Guy ... is more than a little drastic, even by the standards of 2025."
Traveling between such distant locations emphasizes the growing challenge of balancing curling with work commitments in remote areas across Canada.
