Since 2005, this unique event has raised over $4 million for Frontier College.

The idea to use curling to raise funds for Frontier College came originally from award-winning Canadian broadcaster and journalist Peter Gzowski over 30 years ago. It has evolved into the Peter Gzowski Invitational (PGI), a national series of locally produced events featuring musicians, media and literacy celebrities. In Ontario, the annual PGI Bonspiel for Literacy is a chance for novice and expert curlers to hurry hard for literacy!

Join us at the 29th annual "FUNSPIEL" for literacy!
Date: Saturday, March 28, 2020
Location: Port Arthur Curling Club  214 Egan St, Thunder Bay, ON
Time: 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Stay tuned for registration information!
