As the Fundy Curling Club heads into the very busy month of February we would like to first send out a congratulations to Jamie Wright who managed to find the Ace of Spades and take home almost $35,000.00 in the latest round of our extremely successful Chace the Ace. Money raised through this fundraiser over the years has helped the FCC fund projects that would not have been possible otherwise. A huge thank you to everyone in our fabulous community who have supported this event over the years and helped the club get to where it is today.

Speaking of community support, donations over the years have allowed us to establish and continue to grow our youth curling programs. This year our Little Rocks and U18 programs have a record number of 26 participants. The FCC would like to thank the New Horton Baptist Church for the generous donation to our youth curling program for 2026. Support like this allows us to offer quality curling programming to youth right here in our community at an affordable price. It also ensures financial obstacles do not prevent any child from getting out and enjoying the game of curling. Thanks to you the smiles are wall to wall every Sunday on and off the ice at the FCC!
The FCC is extremely excited to be launching our first ever daytime stick curling league for those aged 55 and up. What is stick curling you ask? Well, think shuffleboard on ice. There are two players per team with one player from each team standing at either end of the curling rink. Instead of squatting and sliding down the ice with the curling stone, players simply attach a curling stick to the curling stone and walk behind the stone to push it down the ice from the standing position…just like outdoor shuffleboard. There is no sweeping of the stones as they glide down the ice into the rings at the other end. Stick curling is becoming increasingly popular as it allows folks no matter their age, flexibility, mobility issues or skill level to get out and enjoy the sport of curling and the socialization that goes along with it!
In an effort to introduce as many members of the community as possible to stick curling the FCC is hosting a 2 session Learn to Stick Curl program for adults 55 and up on Tuesday February 10th and 17th from 10am to 11:30am each day. You will learn everything you ever wanted to know about stick curling but were afraid to ask. At the completion of the 2 sessions you will have the confidence and ability to play in this fantastic game and hopefully you will want to join the 6 week stick curling league that will start on Tuesday February 24th. The cost of the 2 session Learn to Stick Curl program is just $10.00 and pre-registration for the program is required by February 8th. To register for the program or for more information please email [email protected] or call Alan at 506-882-1182.
Two of our biggest events of the season are set to hit the ice in February with the mixed bonspiel on the 13th, 14th and 15th followed up by the open bonspiel on the 27th and 28th. If you are out and about those weekends stop by the FCC to check out some of the exciting on-ice action and socialize with friends and neighbours as the best Fundy has to offer battle it out in these ever popular events. Will the returning champs from 2025 repeat or will it be someone else’s turn to wear the crown?
