On March 24, teams from more than a dozen companies came out to the
Guelph edition of ONEIA’s popular “Break the Ice on the Ice” business
and networking curling bonspiel. The Guelph Curling Club played host to
more than 50 curlers who enjoyed an afternoon “learn to curl” clinic,
followed by a three-game, six-end bonspiel. While fun was more on the
agenda than naked competition, a team from Guelph-based RWDI took the
championship, followed closely by a team from IP-expert law firm
Bereskin and Parr. The “most honest team” award went to a group from
Mississauga-based Maxxam Analytics.
Curlers had a chance to play and
chat with Mike Schreiner, leader of the Ontario Green Party, who praised
the work of Ontario companies in the sector at the subsequent
reception, saying that they are “well positioned” as Ontario transitions
to a greener, more sustainable economy
