We are excited to welcome you back to curling after an extended holiday break. Curling resumes on Monday, January 31st! The season has been extended by one week to Saturday, April 30th.

In this first phase of the provincial reopening framework, we're getting back to regular curling, but due to capacity restraints in the club, the bar will be closed until February 21st, or when the province moves into Phase 2 of the reopening, whichever comes first.

There are a few small changes to the club's health and safety protocols. Notably, while masking is generally still optional in the rink, masks are now required if sweeping with 2 sweepers. Teams may choose to sweep with 2 masked sweepers, or engage a single sweeper, who has the option to remove their mask. The non-active sweeper may walk along the path of the stone, provided that they maintain a 2m+ distance from the active sweeper.

At this time, 3rd doses are not required to participate in club activities. We will be closely following the provincial government’s progress on 3rd dose roll-out and guidance on the definition of "fully vaccinated," with at this time means two doses. We strongly encourage all members to get their 3rd dose as soon as possible.

Please read on for tips on how to keep yourself and others safe, and make sure you login to the website to check your updated schedules.

We are ecstatic to welcome you back to the club next week! If you have any questions, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

As you're aware, Ontario has moved back into a modified Step 2 of the framework for reopening. The Club is currently unable to run any programming and is closed until further notice. While the current provincial reopening schedule has us slated to reopen on January 26th, it is unclear whether the current restrictions will be extended or whether we will be able to operate our Learn-2-Curl programs under potential modified restrictions.

In light of this, we are postponing our L2C programs to begin no earlier than February 2nd. Starting on this date still allows us to operate all of our programs in full, and we hope that this built-in buffer time will give us the necessary space to overcome the current restrictions.

At this time, there is nothing you need to do. We will reach out when we confirm new dates for each of our L2C programs. If you are no longer interested in participating in our programs, however, you can request a full refund by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots.

We are disappointed that yet another lockdown is affecting our ability to participate in the sport we love, but we are looking forward to getting back on the ice with you in the very near future. Until then, take care and stay safe!

The Oakville Curling Club is committed to the development and continued growth of the fantastic sport of Curling... and we want to teach you how to play this great Canadian sport!

Youth Curling at Oakville Curling Club Still Accepting Participants and Volunteers

The Sunday Youth Program at the Oakville Curling Club is still accepting participants! If you know of any fully-vaccinated youth 12-18 who are interested in curling we would love to meet them! The Youth Program runs on Sundays 1:30 – 3:30 pm.  There is an enthusiastic group of curlers who would love to share their passion for the sport with other curlers their age. No prior experience is required. They can sign up for the Youth League on the Club's website. This is a great program for anyone thinking about joining their high-school teams! Check the youth curling page on the website and register today!

Maybe you are a little older than 18 but would still love to be out on the ice!  We are always looking for on-ice volunteers. You might not want to work on slides but would love to pass along strategy – we have some experienced curlers who would appreciate learning from your experience. Maybe you are passionate about rules and etiquette – working with a team during a game might be the spot for you. Maybe you haven’t signed up because you are only available once or twice a month – we would still love to have you as part of our volunteer team. Please reach out to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. We would love to hear from you!

Many of you have been asking what curling will look like in the upcoming season. The short answer is 'we don't fully know,' but our goal is get back to as close to 'curling-as-we-know-it' as possible. As such, and with the news of the province's new vaccination requirements for non-esssential businesses, the attached rules and protocols (click here) will be in place for the beginning of the curling season. Please note that these restrictions could change at any time, depending on public health advice.

In consultation with the membership of The Oakville Curling Club and with other curling facilities, and in light of the changing pandemic environment, the Board of Directors has recently approved a COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for members for the upcoming curling season.

For the 2021/2022 season, every member will be required to have received two doses of Health Canada approved Covid vaccine (any combination of two vaccines is acceptable) at least 14 days prior October 1st. Accommodations for people who cannot be vaccinated will be considered and may include mandatory masking and/or regularly submitting negative Covid tests.

The Club will require proof of vaccination status prior to the beginning of the regular curling season. This information will be viewed by Club Management only. Vaccination verification processes will be developed by a subcommittee of the Board and details about that process will be provided to you in the near future.

We are committed to doing our part in keeping the membership and our community safe. In light of the current pandemic landscape and your feedback, this is the safest and most responsible way forward.

Thinking of trying the sport of curling?

Curling is a unique sport that requires both skill and strategy. It is often referred to as chess on ice. It is a lifelong sport that can be learned at any age. Whether playing in a fun league or in a competitive ladder the emphasis is always on sportsmanship and fair play. Being a social sport by nature, it is not uncommon for teams to socialize off the ice where lasting friendships are often made.
