Click here for a great set of videos on learning to curlHistoryThe Quesnel Curling Centre started in 1935 with the help of a Mr. Harry Joyce who had just won $10,000 in a sweepstakes, actually a Newfoundland Sweepstakes. The original building was with natural ice and curlers had to buy their own rocks or borrow them from someone else.The Quesnel Curling Centre was incorporated as a nonprofit society in 1953 and has maintained that status ever since, run by volunteers and now has one fulltime and two parttime staff.We have six sheets of excellent curling ice available from the long weekend in October to the middle of March. Harry Joyce, Lloyd Harper, Gavin Dezell and George Miller were the founders of what is now the Quesnel Curling Centre. Mr. Joyce used the money to buy materials to build a 2sheet curling rink and he sold $200 demand notes to curlers and also charged dues. Our ice technician and Manager is Dave Plant.We have a concession with a full menu selection and is generally open whenever there is curling taking place.
