Ève Bélisle (born September 14, 1979) is a Canadian curler and amateur ornithologist from Montreal. She is employed at the Centre for Research in Computational Thermochemistry at École Polytechnique.

Career

In 2005, she was one of the very few women to ever skip a team to the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. Her Quebec team finished the round-robin with a 4-7 record.

The following year, Bélisle won her provincial championships giving her the right to represent Team Quebec at the 2006 Scott Tournament of Hearts. At the Hearts, Bélisle finished the round-robin with a 7-4 record putting her in the tie-breaker against Newfoundland and Labrador's Heather Strong. Quebec won the tie-breaker, but lost the 3rd-vs-4th game against the defending champion Jennifer Jones.

At the 2007 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship (played in November, 2006), Bélisle became only the second woman to skip a team to the final (Shannon Kleibrink was the first). She lost to New Brunswick in the final, skipped by Terry Odishaw.

Bélisle won her second provincial title in 2010, and proceeded to finish with a 5-6 record at the 2010 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

In 2013, Bélisle won the mixed double event with teammate Steve Johns at the New Zealand Winter Games, representing Australia.

Bélisle won her third provincial title in 2017 and finished with a record of 7-4 at the 2017 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, falling just short of playoffs.

Personal life

In spring of 2008, she noticed and spread the news of a peregrine falcon pair's presence at the Pavillon Roger-Gaudry of the university, eventually leading to the installation of a nest box.[1] She is in a relationship with Christian Bouchard.[2]
