"I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of this fantastic group of curlers. With the experience we all have, I know we will be able to take curling to another level at the grassroots", said Randy Ferbey. "I am looking forward to the upcoming months and years."
Randy Ferbey is one of Canada's most renowned Curlers, having won four Golds and one Silver over eight appearances at the World Curling Championships in addition to six Briers, the latter of which made him an all-time record holder for most Brier wins.

"It is such a privilege to be a part of these Everest championships! Everest is taking their events to the next level, and I can't wait to see what is to come. The sky is the limit," said Jennifer Jones. "The energy and excitement around the events is going to be contagious and I know the competitors will feel like stars for the week! I can't wait to watch!"
Jennifer Jones is an Olympic gold medalist, two-time winner of the Women's World Championships, record setting six-time Scotties Canadian Champion, and a 15-time Grand Slam of Curling Champion. Jones and her team also made history as the first Manitoba-based curling team to win an Olympic gold medal. Additionally, Jones made history as the first female skip to go through the Olympic Games undefeated. Her incredible career led to her being named the greatest Canadian female skip and overall curler in history in 2019 by a TSN poll of broadcasters, reporters, and top curlers.

"From the Everest Curling Club Championships, where we will work to make this experience one of the highlights of these curlers' careers, to the Everest Canadian Senior Curling Championships where we look to showcase and honour the masters of the game. It is our hope that we can build on these incredible events, which will in turn grow our sports impact and reach for many years to come."
Cheryl Bernard is a two-time Olympian, Olympic silver medalist, and a four-time Alberta women's champion. Inspired by her father's fight against cancer, she also created "Curl for a Cure" in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

All three members of the Executive Committee will be working with Everest to improve the experience of the Everest Canadian Curling Club Championships, as well as the Everest Canadian Senior Curling Championships.
Everest believes that curling represents the best of Canada, and that the sport is a part of the fabric of the nation – championed by passionate, supportive Canadians coast to coast.
