Isobel Munro hasn't thrown a curling rock in 15 years, but she is still a prominent figure at every bonspiel at the Arnprior Curling Club.
"Oh, this is her life," says Steve Munro, Isobel's son.
Munro was a pioneer for the game of curling in the town of Arnprior, winning medals at both the Ontario and Canadian Curling Championships during her sporting career."It was a big thrill because we didn't expect we were going to do things like that.""She curled, we grew up at the curling rink, our father curled in Parry Sound, we grew up watching him," recalls Munro's granddaughter Holly Lopez."We played competitively in high school.
Over her decades of service to the Arnprior Curling Club, the local icon has done every job available in the building, from cooking in the kitchen to holding the title as president.
