Club History

The Chilliwack Curling Club was formed in 1952. Prior to this, members travelled to the Vancouver Curling Club to play their games.

After selling $50.00 debentures in the club, the first building was constructed in 1952 with the help of CFB Chilliwack as a three-sheet curling club. The club flourished, and one more sheet was added in 1953. In 1961, the original club was demolished and a six-sheet club was built on the original site. During the 1960s, many bonspiels were so large the Coliseum next door was utilized regularly. In 1988, the club expanded again to include a larger lounge and dance floor upstairs, as well as locker rooms, offices, and an eating area downstairs. In July 2017, the City of Chilliwack committed funding for a new curling club and community centre, which opened in November 2018.

Our club has hosted many regional, provincial, and national championships through the years. A major highlight was in November 2006, when we hosted the Continental Cup of Curling, bringing twelve of the best teams from North America and Europe together for four days of competition.

The Chilliwack Curling Club has approximately 750 active members curling regularly in leagues and approximately 1500 shareholders. The club requires all curlers who curl at night, when the lounge is open, to purchase a share in the Chilliwack Curling Club. This is a one-time fee that allows shareholders to vote on all matters at general meetings, including selecting a Board of Directors.
