Rae, who has been a member of the Burntwood Curling Club in Thompson, MB since
1970, is one of only three Honourary Life Members of the Club.
He fi rst joined the executive in 1971, where he helped set up the inaugural “shift
league” for those working at the INCO mine. As a member of the Burntwood Curling
Club executive for most of the last 40 years, Rae served as President for four terms.
He chaired committees for the 1994 Tankard, and both Scott Tournament of Hearts
held in Thompson. He was also chairman for numerous Men’s, Mixed, Seniors and
Masters zone and district playoffs.
Rae joined the MCA (CurlManitoba) board in 2007 when it still consisted of about 44 members. He served
on the championship review committee, served one year after the board changed to the current format of 12
members, and took on more of a “management” role. After deciding that a more “hands on” relationship
with the clubs in the Norman District was more suited to his skill set, he served one year on the CurlManitoba
management board and acted as the Norman District Liaison and recruited a suitable replacement to
represent the north on the CurlManitoba board. He focused on the operational side (District Liaison) of
dealing with clubs spread over the ~800 kilometre range on the great white north.
Rae is honoured and humbled to be recognized as an Honourary Life Member of CurlManitoba, and hopes
to remain actively involved after his recent relocation to Brandon.

humbled to receive an Honourary Life Membership in CurlManitoba.
