Even though the sun is shining and we are all out enjoying wonderful summer activities, the Fundy Curling Club has been busy making plans for the upcoming curling season. In particular, we have been concentrating on our Little Rocks Curling program for kids aged 6 to 12. As many of you may remember, we offered a mini four-week Little Rocks program last year to determine how much interest there would be in the community. The response was so overwhelming that we immediately decided that for the 2020 season we wanted to offer a full ten-week program for our "Fundy Little Rockers".

The response was so overwhelming that we immediately decided that for the 2020 season we wanted to offer a full ten-week program for our "Fundy Little Rockers".
We realized that to successfully operate a Little Rocks Program, we had almost everything in place including a group of great local kids who want to learn the game, volunteer instructors eager to get the kids out on the ice, and a curling facility with a strong history in the community. The one thing we did not have was a set of 16 Lite Rock curling stones that are essential to the program. These curling stones look and react on the ice just like regular curling stones but weigh only half of what a regular stone weighs. This lighter weight allows younger kids to safely and properly learn all aspects of the game.
We set out to purchase a set of Lite Rocks but the price tag was well beyond our reach. The Fundy Curling Club put in a grant request to the Bennett and Albert County Health Care (BACH) Foundation for funds to purchase a set of Lite Rocks. We are very pleased to announce that the Bennett and Albert County Health Care Foundation has donated the full amount of $4200 to our club for the purchase of a set of curling stones for our Little Rocks program. The Fundy Curling Club would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Foundation for making our Little Rocks Program a reality!
Full details on the Little Rocks program will be announced in the fall!
