The Beausejour Curling Club has been described as
the best-kept secret in Eastern Manitoba (Bob Picken, CJOB Radio).
It was formed in 1929 with a one-sheet rink and upgraded to a
two- sheeter in 1934. A
four-sheet curling rink was built in 1959 and served the community
until it burned down in 1986.
The
current six-sheet facility replaced the old curling rink and held its
grand opening in Nov. 1987.
The new Sun Gro Centre sportsplex facility
was attached to the front of the curling club in 2002 November.
The Beausejour Curling Club provides four leagues, Tuesday morning
recreational pick-up curling and junior after-school curling.
These
include:
Tuesday night Men's League
Wednesday night Ladies' League
Thursday night Men's League
Friday Mixed League
Tuesday Rec. Curling
Wednesday junior after-school curling
(Grades 4 - 9)
When you become a member of the Beausejour Curling Club, you join a great
group of people. Your
membership offers you friendship, exercise and fun.

The curling club is attached to the new arena and together
is called Sun Gro Centre. The
facility is located off James Street near the Hall, Legion and Splash swimming pool.
A main lobby connects the arena and the curling club.
The curling club, with six sheets of ice, boasts one of the most beautiful
ice sheds in the
province.
The club area consists of three levels.
Each level provides viewing of the ice surface.
The upper level contains a bar/lounge
area and satellite wide screen TV, and offers a panoramic
view of all six sheets. The
clubroom wings are on the same level as the change/wash rooms and
provide additional
viewing of the outer curling sheets.
This level is wheelchair accessible. The lower level provides
an ice-level view.

No previous curling experience is necessary to join the curling club.
Each Monday evening from 7-8 PM, starting on October 20, qualified instructors will be available at the Beausejour Curling Club to provide newcomers with an orientation to the fundamentals of curling and to assist more experienced curlers in improving their skills. This instruction is available to all that are interested at no charge. Brooms and sliders are also available at no charge for those who simply want to give the sport a try before investing in equipment. To access this opportunity either come down to the curling club on any Monday at 7 PM or call Leon Dionne at 268-3550.
The after-school program is for grades 4-8 and will be held on Mondays this year starting Nov 23, 2009 and running until March 8, 2010 (with no curling over the Christmas break). The cost will be $50 for that period. Registrations forms will be available soon at the schools or you can register on the first day. No curling experience is required but you do need clean shoes, a broom and a slider. We have a coach, Darla Armstrong, who will provide instruction to the children as well as assistant coaches to work with small groups. However, we still need parents to volunteer to help supervise the children on the ice to improve the experience for everyone.
