Sudbury Curler Sara Guy Moves Across the Country
Changes to the import rules in Canadian curling have significantly reshaped the competitive landscape in recent years. Teams now face challenges with distances between teammates that once seemed impossible to manage.
In this context, the story of 27-year-old Marymount Academy graduate Sara Guy stands out. A conversation with her at the Northern Credit Union Community Centre in Sudbury took place just two days after she returned from a work stint in Yellowknife. Even by 2025 standards, her travel is remarkable.
Guy’s job takes her across the Far North, not only throughout the Northwest Territories but also to Cambridge Bay, Nunavut.
The hamlet of less than 2,000 people is one of only two settlements on Victoria Island and is home to the Canadian High Arctic Research Station. It is the largest stop for passenger and research vessels traveling through the Arctic Ocean’s Northwest Passage.
It’s a long journey from Cambridge Bay to Sudbury, yet Guy manages to balance her professional life in the North with her curling pursuits in Ontario.
