Welcome! New & Returning Curlers

2020-21 Season Update

With the most recent government announcement extending the restrictions on indoor sports for at least another 3 weeks the Heather Curling Club Executive has made the difficult decision to cease operations for the remainder of the 2020/21 Curling Season. Although we were committed to extend the season into April and possibly May, our threshold was to be able to salvage at minimum half a normal curling season requiring a restart date of no later than February 15th.

Your Executive team will continue to work diligently researching and applying for any funding grants that become available, as well work on other opportunities for the continued operational success of the club. Further updates on this will be provided in the upcoming weeks.

We thank all our members for their patience and understanding as we navigate this difficult situation and look forward to seeing you all back on the ice next Season!

Take care and stay safe.

Heather Curling Club – Covid-19 Guidelines 2020/21

Dear members, guests and staff. The Heather Curling Club (HCC) is committed to ensuring the health and safety of our staff, members, guests and volunteers.

We have developed guidelines for both on-ice and off-ice practices to help ensure the safety of everyone in our facility. The HCC guidelines are consistent with the Manitoba Public Health Authority, as well as guidelines provided by Curl Canada and Curl Manitoba.

By choosing to enter the facility, all members and guests of said members are understanding and accepting of any heath risks which may be inherent in participating in a public event with HCC. All non-members participating in the sport of curling will be required to sign an applicable waiver form ( Under the Age of Majority / Age of Majority). All guests to the HCC will be required to sign in at the bar.

Our website will be used to identify any changes from Manitoba public health orders/guidelines as well as recommendations from our provincial and national curling bodies.

By following these new rules and guidelines, we can make this year a success.

Manitoba Health Order Update – October 26, 2020

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, all members must sign into the building PRIOR to entering the locker facility or ice facility. There is signage on the outside door, log sheets will be placed just inside the 2nd set of doors on the table with the hand sanitizer.

There will be a sheet per day, per league. We are asking that the league reps attend to the sign in desk or have a representative from their league there for each draw to ensure everyone signs in.

The HCC staff will collect these sheets at the start of every draw.

This is not OPTIONAL rather it is CRITICAL that we follow this Manitoba Health Order. Failure to do so will result in repercussions to the individuals, leagues, and ultimately the club.

We know it is frustrating to have procedures continually change but this is what is required. We can make this easy if everyone does their part.

All non member guests/spectators are still required to sign in at the bar as usual.
