On March 20 & 21, 2021, the Ontario Curling Council - in partnership with CURLSASK, CurlManitoba & Curl BC - will be hosting the "Adapting Thriving: Focusing on the Future" Online Coaches Conference. In this episode, I get a preview of the conference with the OCC's Education Manager - North, Andrea Ronnebeck.
