ABOUT OUR CLUB
The Melfort & District Curling Club is a non-profit organization that has been offering curling programs and social experiences in our community for over 100 years! We own and operate the Bourgault Curling Centre. We are known as one of the friendliest clubs in the area and we always look forward to welcoming new members. Our volunteers are eager to provide you with instruction and introduce you to the sport of curling.
We have been an integral part of the community for sports, social events, fundraisers and community outreach. We are proud to have been named the 2023 CURLSASK Club of the Year, and the host site of the 2024 national Curling Day in Canada Festival.
