Power Workers Union Grant

In 2024, the Power Workers Union granted the club $1,000. We used the money to upgrade the ice heater scheduler controller unit. The new controller is wifi enabled and remotely accessible through a smart phone app. The unit allows precise scheduling of the ice heaters. This will provide more comfort to players and reduced heating costs.

$25,300 Grant Upgrades Kincardine Curling Club Facilities

Kincardine, ON – On Saturday, MPP Lisa Thompson formally congratulated the members of the Kincardine Curling Club, which received a $25,300 Resilient Communities Fund grant earlier this year from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF). Club members are looking forward to the coming season and were busy over the last while making some upgrades to the building by installing exterior and interior push button automatic doors, as well as installing air conditioning in the Club’s lounge.

“The $25,300 grant provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation is a valuable contribution that will build on the vitality of the Kincardine Curling Club,” said Lisa Thompson, MPP for Huron-Bruce. “Investments such as this has hit the ‘button’ and enables the Club to demonstrate how its rink is easy to access and comfortable for curlers of all ages!”

With the addition of air-conditioning, the Club’s facilities will be more comfortable year-round for community organizations and members of the public who use the space for meetings, family gatherings, wedding receptions and fundraising events. The project was completed during the summer and will provide improved access to events at the Kincardine Curling Club for many years to come.

The Kincardine Curling Club is committed to offering curling to all members of the community. The club offers learn to curl programs, a junior program, mixed leagues, a senior’s league, and a competitive league. The Club also offers its facilities for rent throughout the year.
