Kurling opplever økt synlighet takket være sin rolle i OL og Paralympics. Disse arrangementene fremhever sportens konkurranseappel og tiltrekker seg bredere oppmerksomhet til den. Heather Mair, en forsker i helseavdelingen ved University of Waterloo, er aktivt involvert i tiltak for å utvide kurlings publikum. Hennes arbeid fokuserer på å utvikle og opprettholde en mer mangfoldig base av deltakere og fans. Dette initiativet har som mål å gjøre sporten mer inkluderende utover dens tradisjonelle demografiske grupper. Universitetets helsenyhetsdekning understreker hvordan store internasjonale konkurranser som OL fungerer som katalysatorer for økende interesse for kurling, noe som potensielt kan føre til varig engasjement.
