On October 27- 30, 2022, North Grenville will again play host to a Women's World Curling Tour event. The newly renamed North Grenville Fall Classic will feature 24 teams from across Canada, the USA and Switzerland competing for $25 000 in prize money.

This year's event brings a true spirit of curling to the NGCC. Four junior curlers have been awarded the "Spirit of Sandra Scholarship" from the Sandra Schmirler Foundation, also making an appearance at this year's fall classic is Foundation board member Kerry Galusha.

Since its inception, the Sandra Schmirler Foundation has raised almost 7 million dollars supporting over 90 hospitals across Canada. It is the only foundation for Canadian Neonatal Intensive Care Units. The foundation's work has given critically ill newborns a chance to grow up and follow their dreams.
