OTTAWA, Canada—U.S. First Lady Jill Biden and Canadian First Lady Sophie Grégoire Trudeau visited a 134-year-old curling club in Ottawa on the morning of March 24 to meet with young people to discuss wellness and mental health.

The two met with a handful of curling players at the Rideau Curling Club. Curling is a popular sport in Canada where players slide stones in trying to get one to reach a target. Players sweep the sheet of ice in order to create friction for the stone to stop before it goes past the target, which consists of four concentric circles. The first ladies saw a demonstration of how to throw a stone and sweep the ice.
