This Week Podcast – Week 24

The snow has left the building...for now. Tyler & Kim of MacCarthy GM read through the headlines and talk about bonspiels and snow dragons.



Here’s an interesting fact for the day, a Bonspiel is a Scottish/Canadian term for a curling tournament! Tyler and Kim talk to Brian Munson, who was the event coordinator for the Prince Rupert Curling Club’s 66th Annual Marine Bonspiel last weekend. They also talk to a returning Pee Wee Rep Seawolf, Sam Irving, who is playing this weekend in Fernie B.C to compete against some of B.C’s best hockey players. Tyler & Kim also talk about property taxes, Silver and Bronze medals and a Prince Rupert Snow Dragon.
