The athlete, a qualifier for the June 2009 Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts as reigning champion, was the captain of the gold medalist Curling team for Canada at the Sochi Winter Olympics.
The 2007 Trail Appliances Autumn Gold Curling Classic was the 30th annual edition of the event. 
 It marked the first Grand Slam event of the Women's World Curling Tour. 
 It was held October 5-9 at the Calgary Curling Club in Calgary, Alberta. 
 The total purse for the event was $56,000 with $14,000 going to the winning team of Jennifer Jones, Cathy Overton-Clapham, Jill Officer and Dawn Askin. 
 She won an Olympic gold medal as skip of the Canadian team at the 2014 Sochi Games. 
 They won the 2008 World Women's Curling Championship, and were the last Canadian women's team to do so until Rachel Homan in 2017. 
 The reigning provincial champion, Jennifer Jones, won the 2008 Scotties Tournament of Hearts and thereby has already qualified for the 2009 event as Team Canada.
