Robin Wilson (born c. 1951 as Robin Leigh Knowles)[1] is a Canadian curler. She is a 1979 World bronze medallist[2] and two-time Scott Tournament of Hearts champion (1976, 1979). In 2006, she was inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame together with all of the 1979 Lindsay Sparkes team.[3] She retired from competitive curling in 1979.[4] In 1979, she and her sister and teammate Dawn Knowles began the push to have a sponsor for the Canadian Women's Curling Championship.[5] She was credited for being the driving force behind Scott Paper Limited's decision in 1982 to come on board as the title sponsor of the Canadian Women's Curling Championship. Wilson has co-coordinated the Tournament of Hearts on behalf of Scott Paper for all of the company's years of sponsorship. For her contribution to the growth and development of the Hearts and women's curling in Canada, Wilson was also inducted into the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame in the "builder" category too, in addition to being in the "team" category. Wilson also was the Executive Director for the Sandra Schmirler Foundation until March 2020.[6] She is married to former Canadian football player Al Wilson.[7] Teams
