Sudbury Curler Sara Guy Moves Across the Country
Changes to curling import rules have reshaped Canadian competitive curling, forcing teams to manage distances between teammates that were unimaginable a decade ago. Even in this evolving landscape, a recent conversation with 27-year-old Marymount Academy graduate Sara Guy stood out as exceptional.
Sara, who recently returned from a work trip to Yellowknife, now regularly travels for work to remote locations in the Far North, including Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. This small 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 also serves as a key stop for passenger and research vessels navigating the Arctic Ocean's Northwest Passage.
"That said, even within this context, a catchup chat with 27-year-old Marymount Academy graduate Sara Guy at Northern Credit Union Community Centre on Wednesday evening, just two days after the Laurentian nursing product returned from her latest work stint in Yellowknife, is more than a little drastic, even by the standards of 2025."
The distance from these northern outposts back to Sudbury is vast, highlighting the significant travel commitments Sara manages alongside her curling career.
