January 22White Point proud to be Host Property and Host Society Member for M&M 2014 Canadian Curling Junior Championships
Posted by White Point Beach Resort Team on January 22nd, 2013
We are delighted to be the Host Property for the Curling Teams coming to Liverpool for the M&M Canadian Junior Curling Championship Jan. 18-26, 2014! We are also serving on the Host Society and working with our partners around Liverpool and Nova Scotia to serve up an amazing experience for our guests! On Friday January 18th, a Press Conference was hosted at the Liverpool Curling Club to announce Signature Sponsors and name Jillian Mouzar as the Honourary Chair!
Liverpool receives support for 2014 M&M Canadian Juniors Championship
LIVERPOOL, NOVA SCOTIA, January 18, 2013… A houseful of cheers swept through Liverpool as the Host Society for the M&M 2014 Canadian Curling Junior Boys and Girls Championships, slated for January 18-26, 2014, welcomed the support and partnership of the Province of Nova Scotia and the Region of Queens for the upcoming event.
Surrounded by curling enthusiasts and the business community, 2014 Host Society Chairman, Greg Thorbourne said it is an honour to host the Canadian Curling Junior Championship. “Our community will deliver an exceptional experience for the 28 Junior Curling Teams, coaches, officials, family and spectators coming from across Canada. We also recognize and intend to optimize the economic benefits for our area, and Province projected to be in excess of $3 million. Today we welcome the Province of Nova Scotia and the Region of Queens Municipality to a growing roster of partners that includes the Canadian Curling Association, Nova Scotia Curling Association, Liverpool Curling Club, host accommodation properties and volunteers.”
The Province of Nova Scotia acknowledged the economic and tourism benefits of this event today with their announcement to support the 2014 Canadian Curling Championship in Liverpool with a $75,000 investment.
“The 2014 Canadian Junior Curling Championships are an exciting opportunity for our country’s athletes to compete on a national stage and to promote Nova Scotia as a top-notch destination,” said Economic and Rural Development and Tourism Minister Percy Paris, “hosting major events like these help grow our economy and attract new visitors to our province.”
Showcasing their newly opened Queens Place Emera Centre as host facility for the Championships, along with community’s refreshed Liverpool Curling Club, Mayor Christopher Clarke says the Region of Queens Municipality recognizes and values the economic impact and media exposure the Championships will bring to the community as we forge ahead with our Attraction Strategy.
“We look forward to welcoming athletes, their families, organizers and spectators to our community, the Events Capital of Nova Scotia. Queens Place Emera Centre has enabled this event and its benefits to be possible, and are proud to support the Host Society with our announcement today of a $20,000 investment in the Championships” says Clarke.
The Host Society comprised of Thorbourne and officials from the local and provincial curling and business community, proudly announced the 2014 Honourary Chair is former Liverpool resident and accomplished curler, Jillian Mouzar. Having clinched Nova Scotia Provincial and Canadian Jr. Championships among several others, Ms. Mouzar, who is still active in the sport of curling, is a natural ambassador for the 2014’s.
Ticket Packages for the 10 day Championship will go on sale for $125 plus tax in the Spring of 2013. Volunteers who will round out the team of 100 are currently being welcomed, as are events to be hosted by businesses and community organizations to compliment the schedule of events. Accommodation packages and day trip itineraries for out of town visitors are being developed.
Officials with the 2014 Host Society will travel to Fort in February to shadow the 2013 Canadian Junior Championships and promote the 2014’s while bringing back contacts and insight to be shared with the organizing team.
The M&M Canadian Curling Junior Championship will be held at the Liverpool Curling Club and Queens Place Emera Centre, with the finals being broadcasted live on TSN. It is expected that 140 athletes and 2000 spectators will slide into Liverpool for the Championships to be welcomed and accommodated by the tourism and retail businesses within the area and Nova Scotia.
Preliminary Economic Impact Assessment indicates the value of this event to be more than $3 million, with the immediate area realizing some $1.8 million in and around Liverpool, with the balance of $1.2 million within Nova Scotia. These do not reflect the significant local, regional and national media exposure that will accompany the Championships nor the groundswell of pride in community that is expected.
The winners of the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors will then represent Canada at the 2014 World Juniors, at a site to be announced by the World Curling Federation.

December 302012 Beach Changes – Mother Nature’s Shifting Sands of White Point
Posted by White Point Beach Resort Team on December 30th, 2012
As 2012 draws near, we’ve pulled a screen shots from our Nova Scotia Beachcam…month by month starting with Dec 2011 and continuing to Dec 2012. It’s like a facial really – the surf crashes in, depositing sand along our shores starting in the spring, returning about 4 feet reaching full sand beach peak in August. Then as the currents change and the hurricanes of the fall begin arriving, the sand is pulled out to sea revealing basalt and granite millions of years old. Our shifting sands of White Point – watch them live on our Beachcam!
