The Beausejour Curling Club Welcomes You!

• 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

• Monday after-school Junior curling (Grades 4 - 8)
  
  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.  Come join us in 2011 - 2012.

All About Our Facilities

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.
