HALIFAX — On a warm, sunny fall day eight people are sliding on the marbled ice of a curling rink for the first time. The Mayflower Curling Club hosted an open session for anyone who wanted to learn how to curl on Sunday, hoping to attract some new people to the sport. Ben Winters,10, tried curling for the first time at Halifax’s Mayflower Curling Club on Sunday because he wants to be able to play with his 72-year-old grandfather.

You can start in juniors and you can curl — we have people who are 80-years-old that are still curling,” said Carolyn Kavanheh, the membership chair of the Mayflower Curling Club.
