The Barrie Curling Club was founded in 1877.
We were officially incorporated in 1949 to become
the "The Barrie Curling Club Limited".
The club is a private non-profit club, owned by
the shareholders and operated by the members. The
Board of Directors, which meets once a month, forms
committees that are responsible for the overall
management of the club. |

We have seven (7) sheets of ice available for curling
with the ice surface maintained by professional
ice makers. Ice is available for scheduled play
from 9:00 A.M. to 11:00 P.M. Members may practice
when there is a free sheet of ice available.
Ice time may be rented for private bonspiels
and can be booked through the general office. |

Programs |
| There are many sections in this club in which a
member may curl. The Juniors, the Women's, the
Men's, the Seniors and the Mixed section all
offer curling at differing levels of competition.
A curler may curl in a house league or a competitive
league. In the Choose-Your-Own leagues a curler
may enter a team of their own choosing. As well,
there is plenty of social curling available.
Bonspiels and special events are an on-going
feature of this club. At the beginning of the
curling season each member receives a calendar
that details all scheduled curling and special
events. |

| OCA Competitive Curling |
The Barrie Curling Club has always been active
in competitive curling. Each section has a person
responsible for the events hosted by the Ontario
Curling Association. These individuals know where
the competitions are being held and will have
the dates posted. They will arrange any club
playdowns that may be necessary. If you are interested
or have any questions, please contact the club
office at (705)726-1351. The staff will advise
you of the name of the individual to consult. |

Piano & Sound
System |
| Both of these systems have been moved
as part of the refurbishment. They are for the
use of the membership. Sound System can be accessed
when the bar is open, The Piano at any time. Please
do not move the piano from its present location.
(The Piano has been tuned and somewhat upgraded,
we are also looking into the cost of being able
to play music over the sound system by paying an
annual fee. Soon?!) |
