	Curling
		Curling certainly occurred informally before 1800, until a group of Scots who were identified chiefly with the fur trade formed the Montreal Curling Club in 1807, described as the first sports club in Canada.
		During the 1940s, outdoor curling with cement-filled jam tins became a craze across the Prairie provinces; the first "Carspiel" was held at Nipawin, Saskatchewan, in 1947, with 4 Hudson sedans valued at $2200 each as prizes; and in 1949, Ken WATSON of Manitoba became the first curler to win the Brier 3 times.
		However, Canadian dominance was restored in the 1980s with 6 victories: Rick Folk at Moncton, NB, in 1980; Al Hackner in 1982 and 1985 at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, West Germany, and Glasgow, Scotland, respectively; Ed Werenich in 1983 and 1990; Russ Howard in 1987; and Pat Ryan in 1989.

	CBC Sports: Canadian Curling Association cuts deal with CBC, TSN
		In meetings with the CCA in June, the CBC said it was willing to revert to its coverage schedule of previous years when it showed the championship rounds of the Brier and Tournament of Hearts, while allowing another network to broadcast the round-robin portion of those tournaments.
		The CBC offered the CCA the option of finding another network to carry the draws during the week, but Parkes said he would be willing to accept a new proposal from CBC, adding the network wasn't as flexible as it claims.
		In July, the CCA said it was walking away from the deal and was considering two offers for the rights to broadcast curling.
