Roblin-Curling-Rink near Picton ON (2 Result(s))

The original Curling Club in Picton was founded in 1913 by an interested group of local businessmen. Some of our club trophies are from that original time. The club is located in the fairgrounds in Picton. We have been in our current building since 1964. We lease our building from The County of Prince Edward and since 2011, the club have been responsible for maintenance of the building. In the past two years we have replaced the roof on the ice area and extended the building to make it accessible. The club is a not for profit organization and is run entirely by volunteers. We receive no funding from the County, all expenses are covered by membership and rental fees.

The formation of the original curling club in Belleville occurred 60 years after the 1807 opening of the very first curling club in Canada, The Royal Montreal Club, established after Scottish curlers introduced the sport to Lower Canada.
