2014 Ford® World Women's Curling Championship - Alison Kreviazuk wins Frances Brodie Award

2014 Ford World Women's Curling Championship

Alison Kreviazuk won the Frances Brodie Award at the 2014 Ford® World Women's Curling Championship 





Frances Brodie was the driving force behind the group which established the first World Ladies Curling Championship in 1979 and chaired the first Official Ladies Committee of the International Curling Federation (ICF), later renamed the World Curling Federation.

In 1989, her contribution to World Curling was recognised by the ICF with the introduction of an award in her name, which has been presented at the conclusion of each World Women’s Curling Championship since then.

The recipient is selected by the curlers participating in the event, to honour the curler who, “by deed and action in the course of their performance, best exemplified the traditional curling values of skill, honesty, fair play, friendship and sportsmanship.”

For many years, Frances attended these Championships to make the presentation herself, but latterly was unable to travel and nominated a member of the Ladies Branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club to represent her. She always wrote to the recipient to offer her personal congratulations. Since her death in 2006, a Ladies Branch representative has continued to make the presentation each year.
