2025 Women in Curling Summit Information

Calling all female curlers and curling enthusiasts!
Join us for a day of networking, personal and professional development, and a series of curling-focused sessions to inspire your curling journey — on and off the ice!

Keynote Speaker: Rachel Homan
We are thrilled to have Rachel Homan — World Champion, Olympian, and repeat Canadian Champion — joining us as our keynote speaker! Rachel is a Canadian international curler and the reigning women’s world champion. She is also a former Canadian junior champion, a five-time Canadian national champion, and a three-time World Champion (all as skip). She was the skip of the Canadian women’s curling team at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Rachel will share her personal story of balancing life and elite competition, the values she champions as a woman in curling, and the lessons she’s learned along the way — including the commitment and sacrifice required to master the sport’s most famous deliveries.

In what will be a fun, fierce, and fantastic event, the one-day symposium will provide attendees with the opportunity to:

• Improve on-ice technique through direct instruction from Rachel Homan and other elite athletes
• Discover how nutrition can fuel peak performance at any age with multiple-game-day strategies
• Learn leadership and teamwork skills that translate from the rink to daily life
