Rideau Curling Club

Rideau Curling Club

The Rideau Curling Club is located in Ottawa, Ontario. The original club began operation in November, 1888 at the Rideau Skating and Curling Co. located on Waller St. The club's original president was Sir Sandford Fleming, and Governor General Lord Stanley as patron. The Rideau Curling Club maintains a rivalry with the Ottawa Curling Club.

Locations

The club was moved from their Waller St. home in 1916, when their land was requisitioned for war purposes. Their second home (1916-1930) was approximately the present site of the Supreme Court of Canada. From 1931 until 1949 the club was located at 277 Laurier Ave West, and the club reached their present home, at Cooper & Percy St in July 1949.
