The South East District Athletic Association curling playoffs were held at the Wawota Curling Rink on Feb. 5. The Wawota junior girls won gold with an 8-4 win over Carlyle. This team consists of skip Rachel Wilson, third Avvi Brehaut, second Olivia Makelki and lead Cassidy White. Their regular coach was unavailable so Brayden Stewart stepped up to coach.
Kevin and Tammy Bunz of Comox, B.C., have purchased the Harold and Jane Laich house on Pipestone Crescent. They take possession as of Feb. 1. We look forward their presence in Wawota.
Jim and Diane Bowey of Welwyn picked up Henry and Joan Fowler and took them to the rink where their great grandson Lennox Moore was playing hockey. He is on the 13 and under provincial team.

The Wawota School Library and Classrooms were the recipients of seven large boxes of books. They were sent by Phoena Wright in memory of her son Brady Vickers, who passed away in 2015 just short of his 21st birthday. Phoena was a former resident of Wawota and attended Wawota School.
Hanna Johnson, who is in Regina attending Style Academy to become an esthetician, will be curling with the Madison Kleiter rink in provincials in Martensville from Feb. 23-27.
