The curling club’s building was going to be put on the market, after Curl Moncton decided to consolidate its rinks and expand its club on Lockhart Avenue.

But Jacques Robichaud, a spokesperson for the group, says this offer jumped out at the group.

It’s an agreement Robichaud says works well for all parties involved.

“If we can redirect the resources into our curling facility, for us it’s a definite win there because we want to develop Curl Moncton into the center of curling excellence for all of Eastern Canada,” he said.
