The Manitoba Curling Association has announced that Ian Staniloff will be leaving his position of Executive Director effective June 13. He has been with the association for the past 12 years.

Staniloff says a new career opportunity came up that was the 'right opportunity at the right time'.

'It's the right move at this time for both myself and the Association," he said.

The Manitoba Curling Association will be starting the search to fill the position within the next week.
