About London Curling Club

The London Curling Club is a sports and recreation facility located on Lyle Street in East London. Serving the local community, the club provides a space for individuals of all ages and abilities to engage in curling, which it describes as a lifelong sport centered on sportsmanship, fitness, and social interaction. The facility features six sheets of curling ice, a recently renovated and air-conditioned lounge area, an upstairs lounge equipped with a full kitchen, and ample parking. The club offers a variety of programs and events, including the Learn To Curl program for beginners, various competitive and recreational leagues, and specific events such as the Saturday Nite Rocks and the Sifton Tier 55 Bonspiel. Additionally, the club operates a Pro Shop that stocks a diverse selection of equipment from brands such as Asham, Goldline, Hardline, Olson, and Balance Plus. These items include shoes, brooms, replacement heads, pants, protective headwear, gloves, and other accessories. Founded in 1847 by a group of businessmen, the London Curling Club is one of the oldest curling clubs in Canada. While the group originally curled on the Thames River and local ponds, they eventually moved to the Jubilee Skating Rink on Lyle Street in 1915, where they remain today. The club emphasizes inclusivity and community involvement, seeking to foster volunteerism and a sense of ownership among its members. It also manages a Capital Projects Fund to maintain its historic building and plan for future facility developments.
