Curlers of all ages and abilities
A social and supportive environment for all curlers of all ages and abilities. The 4 sheets of curling ice are rated amongst the best in the North. The Hirsch Creek Curling Rink has now become a busy competitive facility, and continues to grow with excellent representation from the curling club at the BC Junior and high school level. Each of our leagues has seen growth in recent years and we continue to look for new Curling Members! Whether you are new to the sport, haven’t played since your youth, or are an avid, competition curler, we have the league for you! Our weekly Men’s, Ladies and Friday Fun League are made up of a variety of curlers; some members have been here for all 50 years of our curling club, and some have just recently started curling for their first time. We also include our High School boys and girls competitive teams in each of our leagues to help them prepare for their competitions.
