Water conservation measures in Liverpool may affect the Canadian mixed doubles curling trials being held in the area at the end of the year.
The trials are being held at the municipally owned Queens Place Emera Centre from Dec. 30 to Jan. 4. The winner will represent Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
The Region of Queens has asked municipal water users to cut their consumption in half. Because of a lack of fall rainfall, water levels in the Town Lake Reservoir are uncharacteristically low.
Greg Thorbourne, chairman of the Liverpool Championship Host Society, said that if the area doesn’t get substantial amounts of rain soon, the group may have to truck in water to replace what they’ll use during the event.
