Great news for our Club!!
Last Thursday, the Provincial Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries, Lisa MacLeod announced the recipients of legacy funding from the Huntsville 2019 Ontario 55+ Winter Games. HCC along with 7 other local organizations will receive this financial support intended for reinvestment back into the community targeting senior-focused activities.
HCC intends to use this money to deliver Learn to Curl programs to 55+ individuals with the hope of providing opportunities for active healthy living. We look forward to enhancing our stick curling training and programs next season.

Ensuring the safety of our staff and our members is the primary concern of the BOD at HCC. Early indications are that as the Province moves into phase 3 of reopening, our curling season can begin as regularly scheduled with some potential modifications like member flow, hygiene, playing the game (i.e. only 1 sweeper), scheduling, shared items etc. Of course this is subject to daily changes as we continue to fight the Covid-19 virus.
Our plan will be to open as usual October 18th with regular league play, although ‘regular’ might not be the best description. The key determinants around how and when we open, will be the guidelines for indoor sporting activities that will be communicated as part of Phase 3 opening by the Ministry of Health and Simcoe Muskoka Public Health.
We will keep you updated as we learn more. Please see the linked Return to Play Guidelines for a sense of the changes that you might expect this season. For a more detailed Curling Canada document and FAQs go the web-page CurlON – Return to play.
