Curling Canada Helmet Use Recommendations

Curling Canada has endorsed the following recommendations on helmet use in curling facilities:

Helmets be mandatory for anyone under the age of 12.
Helmets must be CSA-approved headgear.
After Under-12, parents would sign waivers or, helmets are worn until the age of majority in that province/territory.
Curling Canada strongly recommends that anyone in a Learn-To-Curl program (adults or juniors) wears protective headgear.
Curling Canada strongly recommends that anyone who is vulnerable (related to experience, medical, etc.) wear protective headgear on ice or, sign waivers if choosing not to wear protective headgear
Curling Canada will work to develop an ongoing concussion awareness education program that can be circulated to through our Member Associations to their affiliated clubs on a regular basis (one-two times/year or as needed).
