Curler Reginald Shives, Campbellton :Shives was a member of the Canadian curling team which toured Scotland in 1926. In 1927, he skipped his team to the New Brunswick championship, and was chosen as a member of a composite team to represent the province at the first Macdonald Brier. They finished second. In 1936, Shives skipped his team to the provincial title and the Ganong Cup, and went on to the brier. New Brunswick was considered the strongest team from the east, and they finished with a 7-3 record. Shives lost the Tankard to Ken Watson on the last rock in an extra end, the closest a team from this province had come to winning since the brier was established in 1927. In 1929-30, Shives served as president of the N.B. Curling Association.
