The Kimberley-based curling team officially opens the Canadian Juniors on Saturday as their opening draws will be against the Yukon and Saskatchewan. The local rink will then match up with Newfoundland/Labrador and the Northwest Territories on Sunday. Team Buchy will then play against Ontario on Monday to conclude their early round-robin schedule.
