Win Shandro

Hall of Fame

It started in the Prairies. Win Shandro swept her passion for curling along her way to Yukon where she organized women curlers into the Ladies Curling Association and served as its first president.

Win also cooperated in writing the first constitution and bylaws that formed the foundation of the association. She saw a need for the Yukon to align with a provincial organization, allowing them to compete at the national level. Thanks to Win’s efforts, BC accepted Yukon into its association.

Win’s efforts were rewarded with an honorary life membership to the Yukon Curling Association and in 1983 she received the Outstanding Service to Curling Award from the Canadian Curling Association.
