Our Story
A Proud Legacy on the Ice: The History of the Campbell River Curling Club
​
When you step into the Campbell River Curling Club today, you can feel the history in the air. The sound of rocks sliding down the ice, the cheers from teammates, and the laughter from the lounge upstairs all speak to more than 60 years of tradition, teamwork, and community.
Â
It started as a dream in the 1960's. At the time, curling was already taking root across Canada, but establishing a dedicated facility in Campbell River required vision, determination, and a whole lot of community spirit. The founding members were Arnold Cameron, Duke & Mary Kersey, Tom Richardson, Eleanor Geise and Ralph Boyd (as seen).
Â
To finance the project, we sold 300 memberships for $100 each, pooling resources from across town. Construction was largely completed by volunteers, a reflection of the can-do attitude that has always defined this club. Leading the way was George Crossland, the club’s first president, who helped set the tone for a member-run organization that still thrives today.
​
In January 1964, the club officially opened as the Campbell River and District Winter Club.
