Saskatchewan 1’s Sheryl Pederson, Moose Gibson, Lorraine Arguin, Marie Wright and Gil Dash celebrate after winning the 2024 Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship. It took an extra end to get things done, but Saskatchewan 1 has once again won the Canadian Wheelchair Curling Championship. Skip Gil Dash, third Marie Wright, second Moose Gibson and lead Sheryl Pederson took a 7-6 extra-end victory over Newfoundland and Labrador’s Doug Dean in the gold medal game on Saturday afternoon at the Moose Jaw Curling Centre. 7KH QDWLRQDO WLWOH ZDV WKH ¿IWK IRU 'DVK DQG :ULJKW WKH IRXUWK IRU *LEVRQ DQG ¿UVW for Pederson.

That’s what it’s all about.”
