Several O’Leary Maple Leaf Curling Club board members were on hand to welcome the public to the grand opening held Oct 27.
Extensive renovations have been completed including a wheelchair accessible washroom, improvements to the bar, and modernizing the kitchen, with upgraded appliances, new flooring and counter tops. Also in the club house is a new gas fireplace, television and furniture.

The club will soon install a sound system, and hope to change the lights over the ice, new dehumidifier, renovate the downstairs and install a new roof.
Open House nights are scheduled for Nov 6, 7 and 12 starting at 7pm for anyone who would like to try curling. Members will be available to assist and registration forms will be there for those interested in joining.
