The Barrie Curling Club recognizes a $70,000 Recreation and Sport Community Grant from the City of Barrie to support the replacement of the roof over the ice pad at the facility located at 175 Essa Rd.
This grant is a true “win-win,” said Barrie Curling Club treasurer Donna Cooper.
“The grant has been used to replace the old roof and will ensure that curling continues to be available for the residents of the City of Barrie and the surrounding communities.”
The Barrie Curling Club is the only curling facility in the City of Barrie.
Thanks to this generous grant from the City of Barrie, the Barrie Curling Club has been able to replace the aging roof over the ice pad, thus ensuring a playing surface that is free from leaks and regulates the temperature inside the building.

“We are fortunate and thankful to have received this support from the City of Barrie. It shows the city’s continued interest in providing top-notch recreation opportunities for people of all ages,” said club manager Melanie Hughes.
