Eighty-year old Norman Meade has curled his whole life.
When he moved from Manigotagan First Nation to Winnipeg, he wanted to keep playing so he launched the Aboriginal Curling League.
“If we could start a league of our own so we could come and enjoy and bring our families out and enjoy each others’ companies for one night a week,” Meade said. “That was about 30 years ago and we’ve been running it ever since.”
