Registration Reminder

These cold nights are giving us fall vibes. While the summer may not be over yet, it is time to regsiter for another season at the Rideau!

Please remember that all curlers need to submit their Smart Waiver forms. Unfortunately, you will not be permitted on the ice until you do so make sure to get your forms in! You can access the forms by selecting one of the categories below:

Adult (Age 26+) Adult (Ages 18 to 25) Youth (Under Age 18) Coach (Rowan's Law)

 

New Member Recruitment

The best way for our Club to remain healthy and vibrant, is to have full curling programs!  Our Learn-To-Curl and Youth Programs are full, which bodes well for the future, but our day and evening programs weren’t full last season. The Board has received some suggestions from the Day Curlers that we will be considering over the summer, but we would also like to brainstorm how to best fill our night leagues.

If you have any specific suggestions to share, or would like to participate in this brainstorming session, please reach out to Phil Dunville, Director – Curling Programs, at [email protected].

Annual Spring Meeting

Please join us on Wednesday, April 26th at 7 PM for our Annual Spring Meeting. 

For more information on what will be covered, you can find the ASM package here.
