The Northern Ontario Curling Association has scored a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

The $138-thousand will be used on a variety of initiatives aimed at attracting more people to the sport.

Executive Director Leslie Kerr says it includes bringing curling into the area's First Nation communities.

The Association is also looking to develop closer ties with local rinks and the in-school program Rocks and Rinks.
