CHCC General Information
Location
It was 1956 when a group of Army, Navy, and Air Force veterans who had settled in Carleton Heights decided that curling would be an excellent winter sport to introduce to the area. These enthusiastic people canvassed the locale and found that there was sufficient interest to pursue their idea. The Ottawa Recreation Department granted permission to lay out two sheets of ice alongside the outdoor community hockey and skating rink. Stones were borrowed from the Rideau Club, the clubhouse was a pair of salvaged garages and, between snow banks and bundled in parkas and toques, curling got under way.
