Kim Campbell stands indoors in front of an ornate white fireplace with decorative molding and a green marble interior. She is smiling and wearing a black outfit with two medals pinned to the left side of her chest—one hanging from a green, blue, and yellow ribbon around her neck and another red-and-white cross-shaped medal pinned to her jacket. Her short light-brown hair is styled in a layered bob. Crystal chandeliers and a floral arrangement sit above the mantel, and upholstered furniture is partially visible at the sides of the room.

Kim Campbell was the first woman to serve as Prime Minister of Canada, federal Minister of Justice and federal Minister of Defence.
She was also the first Baby Boomer and first person born in British Columbia to be Prime Minister.
This is her story.

Sandra Schmirler crouches low on the curling ice, sliding forward while holding a broom in her right hand. She wears glasses and a white Team Canada jacket with red and black accents, along with black pants. Her left hand is extended toward the ice for balance, and she appears focused and animated. The blurred background shows the blue and white surface of a curling rink.

Sandra Schmirler was one of the greatest curlers in Canadian history.
She won Olympic gold, three World Championships and three Scotties.
Her legacy continues in the sport to this day.
This is the story of Schmirler the Curler.
