The New Canadian Curling Club
Chinese guy, a Jamaican lady, an Indian guy, and a 17 year-old Syrian refugee walk into a curling club…
It’s Monday night in small-town Ontario and it’s the first-ever Learn to Curl class for New Canadians. Inspired by the local refugee resettlement program, this evening was set up to welcome newcomers and “diversify the club”. But when its organizer slips on the ice and breaks her hip, the rink’s ice maker and former champion curler Stuart MacPhail is forced to step in as head coach. Trouble is, Stuart has some strong opinions about immigrants…
What follows is the hilarious and inspiring story of a group of unlikely athletes who face off against local prejudice and become a true team. Each character has their own story to tell about life off the life—all while they prepare to compete in the local bonspiel: the highly coveted Highlander Cup. Both laugh-out-loud funny and quietly moving, The New Canadian Curling Club is a brand new comedy about immigration, community, and national identity—with a heart as big as Canada itself!
