Oilfields Curling Club Ceases Operations
March 15, 2020
Due to tightened recommendations from the Alberta Government, along with the rules being implemented worldwide, the Oilfields Curling Club has no option but to cease operations immediately.
This is being done to protect our members and their families from possible exposure to the Covid-19 virus, which has progressed dramatically in just the last few days.
Of note, other jurisdictions are going to even greater lengths with several US states closing all bars and restaurants along with schools and even small gatherings. It is certain that Canada will follow suit shortly. While many may feel it is an overreaction, we cannot take the risk and must err on the side of caution.
For those people with equipment in their lockers, we will wait for this to end and then make arrangements. May 2nd is the scheduled date of the highway cleanup. Assuming it goes ahead, that might be a good day. Anyone with a need to get stuff out sooner, let me know and we'll arrange a time. There will be opportunities but the only activities at the club will be Mike and his crew removing the ice.

Club Renovations - Summer of 2019
Check out the renovations at the rink for the start of the 2019/2020 season. New carpets have been installed on the lower clubroom floor, including the locker rooms and around the ice. The "dropped" floor in front of the viewing windows has been removed, which will provide a safer and more useable space. The change from the old tile flooring is remarkable. Painting was also part of the project. Thank you to all the volunteers who worked, planned and managed the project.
