Emily's House Bonspiel

The Emily's House Bonspiel held on February 11th, was a huge success. The Bonspiel raised $2,900 in support of this cause. Many thanks to the sixty-four curlers and volunteers that came out and supported this worthwhile cause. Additional thanks go to the sponsor Silver Birch Contracting for their generous sponsorship of this event.

Emily’s House—Future Children’s Residential Hospice Philip Aziz Centre is in the process of expanding its current hospice programs to children and families by opening Emily’s House, a Children’s Residential Hospice. Emily’s House the first hospice of its kind in Toronto- builds on PAC’s fifteen years of care and support for people living with life-limiting illnesses. Emily’s House will provide pediatric palliative care for 10 children living with a life-limiting diagnosis.

The Curling Corner

The Curling Corner is a new web page designed to keep our members informed about league activities on and off the ice. Over the last few years our two local newspapers, the King Sentinel and the King Weekly, have been very generous with their publishing of our articles, however, not every article that is written will get published in the weekly papers so, with that in mind, we have created this page to cover activities that don't make it to print.

The articles and information for this page is intended to supplement the newspaper articles and also provide some additional insight on the happenings within the club. Articles will remain on this page for a couple of weeks and then be placed in the archives on the members page.

The link on the side bar will take you our new page or just click here The Curling Corner.
