The Rotary Club of Huntsville recently made a Five Thousand Dollar donation to the Huntsville Curling Club towards the curling clubs capital campaign called Access 125. Rotary is an organization that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion and our club was thrilled that the curling club would now be accessible to all.
In the 2025/26 season the Huntsville Curling Club will celebrate its 125th anniversary. Over the next few seasons, the Club is embarking on the final stages of renovation plans to create a fully accessible facility and to set the foundation for the next 125 years! Given the age of the core building infrastructure, substantial changes are required to make HCC fully accessible. As such, $500,000 in additional renovations at the Club have been forecasted, including: an accessible club entrance, a lift to allow participants to move to each level of the club, and accessible washroom and change room facilities.
HCC introduced a capital campaign called Access125 with a goal of raising over $125K. All funds raised through Access125 will go directly toward the installation of the new accessible front entrance and the elevator lift. Access125 runs from Sept. 2023 to mid-2026.
Pictured in the photo is the new accessible front entryway currently under construction at the curling club.
