On February 23, 2013, Canada's wheelchair curling team took the gold medal at the World Wheelchair Curling Championships. It was a tight battle between the Canadian curlers and Sweden both playing away from home in Sochi, Russia with Canada besting the Swedes 4-3. The victory is the team's third world title.
Of course it was their skill and determination that led them to victory, but we also know they had a secret weapon: optimism.
Ina Forrest, a charter member of the North Okanagan Optimist Club in British Columbia is member of the champion Wheelchair Curling team. Congratulations, Ina! Congratulations to all.
