On behalf of your Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce that we have secured a Head Ice Technician for the 2025 / 2026 curling season.
As you may know, the Board advertised province-wide for the position and collaborated with the Nova Scotia Curling Association and Chester Municipal Recreation Department in our efforts. Several of your Board members contacted individual curling clubs looking for leads and possible contacts in our search.
Brittni Fernandes has accepted the position. Brittni comes highly recommended for her passion and enthusiasm for the sport of curling, positive relationships, and her ability to prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, and find creative solutions to problems.By all accounts, she is a quick study, a team player, independent worker and multitasker.
Brittni has a Bachelor of Science degree and is a certified Curling Technician, Level 2. Brittni has established a network of fellow ice technicians with which to collaborate. She has had ice making responsibilities, instructed clinics, coached and has served as Match Director at Schooner, Sydney and CFB Halifax Curling Clubs. Recently, she volunteered at the BKT World Women’s Curling Championship in Cape Breton.
To augment the work of the Head Ice Technician, your Board is also in the final stages of finalizing the position of Ice Chair. Among other responsibilities, the Ice Chair will be the primary link between members and the Board and the ice maker. This approach will improve and streamline communication, ice scheduling and volunteer efforts.
As the 2025 / 26 season approaches, Brittni will be learning about our facility, infrastructure and draw schedules. You can expect communication regarding assistant ice making training from the Ice Chair and Brittni as we move closer to the season.
I wish to thank the Board members who took time from their busy summer vacations to help interview and meet with Brittni.
Please welcome Brittni to our club!
Scott Milner President, CCC Board of Directors
