The Nova Scotia Curling Association (NSCA) is pleased to congratulate former board member and 2010 Brier co-chair, Hugh Avery, on his recent election to the Canadian Curling Association's (CCA) board of governors.
"I am committed to helping the sport of curling reach its fullest potential and I am looking forward to the challenge over the next five years," said Avery. "From the very first time I walked into the Westville Curling Club in 1981, I knew I loved this game," he said.
Avery has a lengthy resume of curling administration experience. Getting involved as a junior curler in the early 80s, Hugh has balanced his time between playing on and off the ice in the Maritime curling clubs and board rooms.
In 2003, Hugh became president of the Halifax Curling Club where he served for two years and is still a member today. Hugh joined the NSCA in 2004 as Treasurer and then in 2006 moved to Director of Competitions for two years. As a player, Hugh has participated at the Tankard level in both Nova Scotia and PEI.
Avery’s five-year term is the result of a nomination put forward by the NSCA and subsequent election by the CCA's 14 member associations. Nova Scotia’s Georgina Granchelli, former president of the NSCA, is the only other NS representative on the 10-person board.
