CurlManitoba introduces Open Your Doors with Facebook advertising. This program is aimed at taking advantage of the hype and excitement that comes from watching curling at the Olympics. We suggest your club run a free “Try Curling for a Day” clinic that gets people into your club to learn more about what you have to offer. Once there, you can promote programs like “Learn to Curl”, where participants commit to a 4-6 week series of clinics. Work with us to get more people into your clubs.
