The Oakville Curling Club is an eight-sheet curling facility located in historic downtown Oakville, Ontario.
Our mission is to sustain and grow the sport of curling in our community, by providing the best possible combination of experiences and facilities for members’ social, recreational and competitive enjoyment.
Throughout the years, the club has played host to many great curling events and social gatherings. Today, the club continues to be a focal point for the community. With modern facilities - including an excellent ice surface and new curling rocks - the Oakville Curling Club hosts major provincial and national events as well as bonspiels for members of all levels of experience.
The Oakville Curling Club also supports the community by turning its facilities over to philanthropies for fund raising.
