Ina Forrest rejoined her Canada I team in Amsterdam prior to their flying to Scotland.  TC coach Wendy Morgan professed everyone was pleased with the result though neither Canadian team qualified for the playoffs. "Early season tweaking ... everyone pleased." Bruno Yizek and Chris Sobkowicz shared skipping duties on Canada II.
