Canadian curler and television personality Colleen P. Jones is most recognized for being the skip of two women’s world championship teams and six Canadian women’s championship teams in the Tournament of Hearts.

Family Details

On December 16, 1959, in Canada, Colleen Jones opened her eyes for the first time to see the lovely world.

In October 2022, Colleen will turn 62. Her parents reared her and her eight sisters and one brother.

Regarding her schooling, she attended St. Patrick’s High School in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, which is situated at Quinpool Road. She then began her higher education at Dalhousie University.

Colleen’s parents’ names are still unknown because she maintains her personal life private. But we had no idea her family was also into curling.

Colleen’s father taught her and her other eight siblings to ride a bicycle, sail, and go out when she was a child. And she was raised by a father who never stated that he was raised by a single mother.

Unlike Colleen’s father, her mother always worked from home, washing dishes, cooking, and doing laundry.

According to Theglobeandmail.com, Colleen revealed in 2015 that her unnamed mother has Alzheimer’s disease.

Colleen has not spoken about her mother’s condition since then.

Body Measurement, Hair, Eyes

Although her height measurement is nowhere to be seen, simply glancing at her curling inside the sheet, it is clear that she is tall enough.

Aside from her height, she has a charming white face, which is enhanced by her attractive smile.

Colleen also has blueish eyes and naturally brown hair, which gives her an exquisite appearance.

Colleen’s Career | Broadcasting

Colleen joined CHUM radio and started working there in 1982, following the completion of her graduation.

Before deciding to work for other media outlets, she spent at least two years working for the radio sports network.

Colleen expanded her career by joining the television broadcasting station CTV in 1984 after earning broadcasting skills while working at CHUM radio.

Due to her leaving the track in 1986, her time working there was barely two years.

In a similar vein, Colleen decided to work for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1986.

She was given the opportunity to provide the weather for CBC morning on CBC News globe, which is now known as the CBC News Network, at the beginning of 1993.

She simultaneously worked for the CBC News Network as the sports presenter and the weather presenter.

Colleen performed the CBC pieces about curling in addition to her duties as a weather and sports presenter. She also provided her ear-pleasing voice for the 2006 Torino Olympics.

For the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, she also provided the curling commentary and echoed the entire stadium with her commanding voice almost four years later.

A Career In Curling

It is claimed that future events throw their shadows before them, and Colleen demonstrated this to be true in practice as soon as she turned 14 years old.

Without a question, when looking closely at the history of her curling career, it can be said that she had a fascinating and exciting experience.

While a student at St. Patrick’s High School, Colleen began her successful and competitive curling career by competing for the club known as Mayflower Curling Club.

She began playing for her club just when she was 14 years old, which astounds her dedicated and adored followers.

Additionally, when Colleen turned 19, she won her first curling championship, in Nova Scotia.

She had the opportunity to compete and display her abilities at the Canadian Championship because she was the Nova Scotia champion at such a young age.

At the Canadian championship, Colleen finished in second place.

Despite finishing second in her maiden Canadian Championship, she was given the opportunity to compete in the 1982 Canadian Women’s Curling Championship.

From 2002 – 2006

Colleen and her squad were successful in capturing another Canadian Championship the following year.

However, the team and Colleen weren’t in the same shape as before for the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts.

Due to their excellent play, they won the tie-breaker by giving Sandy Comeau of New Brunswick the points she needed to win the match, 6-5.

The team advanced to the semi-finals in 2006 but fell to Jennifer Jones in the final. Colleen and the group split up at the conclusion of 2006.

From 2006 – 2011

She then left with her teammates and joined the Haligonian Kay Zinck team.

During the 2006–2007 season, Colleen briefly shared the field with the new teammate before switching back to the skip position.

At the conclusion of the 2007–2008 competitive curling season, she announced her retirement.

On March 24, 2010, Colleen made a two-year hiatus official by announcing it on CBC News.

Teri Lake, Blisse Comstock, and Heather Smith-Dacey chose her to assume leadership duties as the skip for the 2010–2011 campaign.

Unfortunately, on December 10, 2010, meningitis was officially diagnosed in Colleen, and the news spread quickly.

She gave Heather Smith-Dacey her responsibilities as a result.

Colleen won the Nova Scotia Senior Women’s Championship on February 27, 2011, following her quick recovery from a disease that was rapidly deteriorating her health.
