Biggar, Saskatchewan, the home of champions. Biggar, the home of Sandra Schmirler and the home of the world record Hanson buck is now the home of the 1999 Saskatchewan girls’ curling champions for this year. This is the first time since 1981 when Sandra Schmirler was the champion of Saskatchewan that a girls’ team from Biggar has won that championship and I congratulate them. But additionally I want to congratulate the community of Biggar for having put on this competition. A town the size of Biggar needs a lot of heart and a lot of energy to host a provincial competition. They did it with class; they did it with appreciation from across the province; and they did it in a way that showed the heart of Saskatchewan to all the rest of their guests from across the province as during the snowstorm during the competition they put people up for the night who couldn’t get to their hotels. So in conclusion I want to extend congratulations to coach Sean Friesen, team members Teejay Surik, Brett Barber, Lesley Ann Hallberg, Erin Sherbino, and Jamie Lamont Quotation - Honourable Berny Wiens - Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan - March 18, 1999
