Dear Members of the Oakville Curling Club,

We wanted to make you aware of an unfortunate incident that occurred at the club earlier this week. A couple of unauthorized individuals entered the building and took some credit cards from one locker that we are aware of.

We ask that everyone please take a moment to double-check their belongings—including wallets and personal items—to ensure nothing is missing. If you notice anything unusual, please let us know as soon as possible.

As a gentle reminder, we encourage all members to keep personal belongings securely locked up or take them with you onto the ice surface for safekeeping. Even those well-worn curling shoes and sentimental items deserve a little extra care.

We have been in contact with Halton Police and have provided high resolution video footage of the individuals entering and leaving the building. The timing aligns with the reported incident, and we are cooperating fully with their investigation.

In addition, we will be looking into upgrading the security of the locker rooms by installing keypads on both the men’s and women’s doors to help prevent similar incidents in the future.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to keep the Oakville Curling Club a safe, welcoming place for everyone.

Warm regards,
Ian Tetley, General Manager
Oakville Curling Club

Greetings to all of my fellow Oakville Curling Club members and a special welcome to all new members who have joined our club. I hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer and are gearing up for the upcoming 2025/26 curling season. The ice is in and is fantastic. Thanks to Scott Foster and his crew!

We’ve have had a busy off season with a number of projects that have been or are very near completion. When you come to the club you will notice a number of changes and big improvements.

As you may know we received a grant from the Ontario Trillium Fund to assist in our efforts to become compliant with the AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act). Over the spring and summer, we had a number of upgrades completed including the addition of a chair lift on the stairs leading down to sheet 8. We have also added 6 automatic doors and replaced the concrete sidewalk on the northside of the building, bringing it up to grade level with the emergency exit doors. Additionally, we had the lounge bathroom upgrading and the emergency exit signs have also been upgraded to meet with the new standards. These changes will allow for all of our members to enjoy everything the club has to offer.

We have also had to deal with some drainage issues at the northside of the building. The existing drainage system that dealt with a large volume of water from the ice shed roof had become dilapidated and this resulted in flooding of our walkway and created some potentially hazardous conditions. We excavated the entire northside area of our property as well as a large portion of the west side parking lot and installed new piping as well as a new drainage system under the parking lot. This will dissipate the roof run off for years to come and provide a safer environment for our members.

We have also resurfaced the west side parking lot and added some curbing as well which we can all agree was overdue. On top of this, we updated our electrical power grid which now feeds our 4 new light posts on the west parking lot, again adding addition safety and security for our members.

Some smaller upgrades include, better lighting in both the lounge area and in the ladies locker room lounge as well as a new POS system at the bar and we are also upgrading our on ice camera system that will allow for streaming of games and better viewing for members in the lounge area.

These accomplishments and the efforts of our various committees and the board of directors speak to our ongoing efforts to ensure the Oakville Curling Club is ‘best in class’ and provides the best possible venue for our membership.

A special shout out and sincere thank you to both Karl Mitchell who gave generously of his time and expertise to ensure that these complex projects were done properly and on time, and secondly to our General Manager Ian Tetley who was hands on for all of this and was our point of contact for all of our contractors. This could not have happened without these two gentlemen.

Finally, thank you to all of our members! While our facility continues to be upgraded, the heartbeat of the OCC is our members who continue to support the club. None of these accomplishments happen without you. Please enjoy the upcoming season. I look forward to seeing you all very soon.

Very Best,

Greg Irwin

Thanks to the incredible popularity of our Day Women's morning leagues we have more women signed up than we can accomodate.  We have over 80 women signed up for each day, with a capacity of 64.  Many of you have signed up for both days, which means our first action will be to assign those who selected both days to their preferred day. To ensure this is done fairly and that no one is missed, please take a moment to check your Series Signup on-line. 

From the Series Signup page you will be able to confirm:

• Which day(s) you are signed up for, and
• Your preferred day (if signed up for both)

You can make any necessary changes right from this page.  You can add or remove a series, or change your preferred day.

We will be building the teams on October 5 and team lists will be available online the following day. Those women who did not get placed on a team on their non-preference day will be encouraged to sign up for the spares list for that day instead.

We also want to encourage all women who have signed up for the DW Tuesday/Thursday League to come to our Open House on Wednesday, October 1st from 2-4PM at the Oakville Curling Club.

Dear OCC Members, 

As we close out another incredible season at the Oakville Curling Club, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been a truly remarkable year for our community. This past season, we saw tremendous growth, welcoming 1,000 winter members and 420 summer members—an achievement that speaks volumes about the passion and dedication of everyone who walks through our doors. Even more importantly, our club remains financially strong, ensuring that we can continue to provide the best experiences for all.

Looking ahead to the off-season, we will be hard at work making improvements to ensure our facility remains welcoming and accessible for everyone. Key projects include accessibility enhancements, drainage improvements on the north side of the building, and repaving of the west side parking lot, including lighting for safety and security—investments that will benefit us for years to come.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible efforts of our staff—Casey, Scott, and Ian—who have gone above and beyond to fulfill the needs of our membership, ensuring that our club runs smoothly.

Additionally, our convenors continue to organize successful leagues and introduce exciting new events, keeping our community engaged, entertained, and always looking forward to more.

Our instructor team has kept the membership turnstiles moving with our Learn to Curl programs. The new season will see the introduction of more clinics (yeah), something we know you have been requesting.

We should all be immensely proud of how far we’ve come. As we grow, we continue to set an example for other clubs, proving that a strong, passionate membership is the heart of any thriving organization.

Thank you all for being a part of this journey—we can't wait to see what’s next!

Greg Irwin
President, Oakville Curling Club
