Sudbury Curler Sara Guy's Unique Journey Across Canada

Changes to import rules in curling have significantly reshaped the competitive scene in Canada, with many teams dealing with vast distances between teammates that would have been impossible to manage just a decade ago.

Even in this evolving context, 27-year-old Marymount Academy graduate Sara Guy’s story stands out. A conversation with her at the Northern Credit Union Community Centre came shortly after she returned from a work trip to Yellowknife.

Travelling the Far North for Work

Sara regularly travels to various locations in the Northwest Territories for work, including Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. This remote hamlet, with fewer than 2,000 residents, is one of only two settlements on Victoria Island and hosts the Canadian High Arctic Research Station.

It is also the largest stop for passenger and research vessels traveling the Northwest Passage across the Arctic Ocean.

The distance from these northern posts back to Sudbury reflects the modern reality of athletes balancing their careers and personal lives across vast distances in Canada.
