Curling Alberta prides itself on being a resource to all levels of curling in Alberta. This page will be updated with information that we feel may be relevant to clubs, including current public health concerns associated with the coronavirus (COVID-19). This page will also contain important return to curling information. Clubs and curlers, this is your platform to share additional resources with each other as well.
Curling has been modified this season to ensure it remains a low-risk sport. This informative curling video highlights these modifications to the game and shows how you can maintain distance at your club! This video was developed in partnership with the Leduc Curling Club and the Sherwood Park Curling Club.
Affiliated Club Facebook Group
We understand the importance of collaboration. To encourage clubs to ask questions, share ideas and let others know what works or hasn’t worked in the past, we have created a private Facebook group. Please click here to visit and join the Facebook group.
