Anne Dunn

Anne Dunn (née Vale) was born in Toronto in 1947 and moved with her family to Galt (Cambridge) when she was fifteen years old.

Friends convinced Dunn to try the sport of curling and she joined the Galt Country Club in 1967. Within six years she put together a team of local business women and skipped the team to her first Provincial Championship in 1973.

Since that time, Dunn has teamed up with members from her home club, and subsequently with players she has met and respected from other clubs in Southern Ontario, to pursue championships at the highest level of curling competition in Canada and internationally.

Since winning the first Provincial Championship in 1973, Dunn skipped and played third on teams that participated at twenty-two Provincial Championships. Dunn won eight of those Provincial Championships. In 1987 and 2003, Dunn and her team represented Ontario at the Scott Tournament of Hearts Canadian Championship. In 2001 Dunn and her team won the Ontario Senior Ladies Championship and that same year, won the Canadian Senior Ladies Championship. In 2002 and 2004 Dunn and her team again won the Canadian Senior Ladies Championship and won the World Senior Ladies Championship in 2002.

In April 2004, Dunn was the Senior Women’s Skip of Team Canada, winning the Gold Medal at the world senior curling championship in Sweden.

Dunn was personally selected to the All-Star team at the Canadian Senior Ladies Championships in 2001 and 2004, and she cherishes her Sportsmanship awards received at the World Championships in 2002 and at the Scott Tournament of Hearts Canadian Championships in 2003.

Along with her participation in sport, Dunn volunteered and has been active on the Cambridge CanAmera committee; she has chaired the Cambridge Athlete of the Year Selections Committee; and she was on the board of the Cambridge Sports Hall of Fame Committee.
