Brian Tayler
President

​Brian Tayler has been a member of the Granite Club for over 20 years. Always an avid watcher of curling he took the deep dive to become a player when his wife informed him she was joining the Club. Brian followed along. His desire to make the club and sport successful locally led to volunteering for various bonspiels including the Mixed Nationals, Provincial Men’s, Two Pinty’s and the World Women’s in 2018.
Brian was honoured to be elected to the Board allowing him to expand his support of the Granite Club’s community of curlers, tennis and pickleball players. Aside from the sports, it’s the community of members making the Club a place he wants to be.
Brian is retired from a 40-year career in conservation and resource management. His varied experience includes serving in operations, planning, policy, senior administration, finance and governance roles.
Brian and his wife Erin are the proud parents of four and equally proud grandparents of ten.
Martine Honeysett caught the curling bug after joining on a whim with a friend in 2021 and hasn’t looked back since. She was quickly taken by the sense of community and comradery. She enjoyed her time on the Granite Club’s 75th Anniversary committee and was inspired to continue.
​
Martine is a trained Medical Radiation Technologist and now applies her skills in the ITS department as an Applications Analyst at the North Bay Regional Heath Centre.
​
Off the clock, Martine is happiest spending time with friends and family, especially her nieces and nephews and her dog Subi, hiking or plotting her next travel destination/adventure.
She is looking forward to meeting new members, getting to know the staff and learning from the other board members.
