WFGIA Looking Forward to the 2012-13 Canadian Curling Season
TORONTO --(Business Wire)--
Fans are eager for the start of curling's Season of Champions, which
begins with the Capital One (News - Alert) Canada Cup on Nov. 28, 2012 in Moose Jaw, SK.
WFGIA is a sponsor of the Seasons of Champions, a series of six
championship events for competitive curlers sanctioned by the Canadian
Curling Association (CCA). The company also is the title sponsor of the
WFG Continental Cup 2013 in Penticton, British Columbia, January 10-13,
2013 - the fourth year the company has sponsored this exciting
competition. Additionally, WFG is a top sponsor of an amazing group of
curlers, Team Jennifer Jones.
"WFGIA has been committed to the sport of curling since 2006 when we
first sponsored Team Randy Ferbey, or the Ferbey Four, and is pleased to
be partnered with the CCA again this year and to be the title sponsor of
the WFG Continental Cup 2013," says Richard Williams (News - Alert), President, World
Financial Group Insurance Agency of Canada Inc. "As a financial services
company, WFGIA and its associates believe in helping families have a
strong financial future by providing them with the education, products
and services to support them. We think that strong families make
stronger communities, which is why we proudly sponsor the
family-friendly sport of curling, which brings so many people together
to cheer on their favorite teams."
WFGIA's support of Team Jennifer Jones continues the company's tradition
of backing some of curling's best athletes. Tam Jennifer Jones is the
2012 Canadian Scotties Tournament of Hearts Bronze Medalist and the 2011
Silver Medalist. Additionally, it is one of just two teams that
qualified for the 2013 Olympic Curling Trials with the hopes of
representing Canada in the 2014 Winter Olympics. The team consists of
Jennifer Jones (Skip), Dawn Askin (Lead), Jill Officer (Second), Kaitlyn
Lawes (Third) and Janet Arnott (Coach) - all of whom have won world
championships.
"We are proud to have Team Jennifer Jones wear our logo on their
uniforms, and we look forward to watching this fantastic team hit the
ice and win big," says Paul Mineck, Chief Marketing Officer of World
Financial Group, Inc. "Working with the CCA allows WFG to be affiliated
with the energy and excitement of curling and to help expand awareness
of how our company helps families throughout Canada get on better
financial footing."
