Nova Scotia— The Sydney Curling Club will have a new facility after an investment of $10 million from the federal government. This was announced by Parliamentary Secretary Jaime Battiste, Parliamentary Secretary Mike Kelloway, and Ian MacInnis, President of the Sydney Curling Club.
Built to replace the current Sydney Curling Club on George Street, the new facility will be in Open Hearth Park and feature six curling sheets, expanding the capacity by 50%. The building will be fully accessible and energy efficient with modern amenities and equipment. Sydney Curling Club’s membership numbers more than doubled since 2017 and the new facility will allow for more community events, large curling tournaments and league games.
“CBRM is growing and so too is our need for social, cultural, and recreational space. Our government is proud to invest in the new Sydney Curling Club to foster a love of sport and ensure people of all ages have a place to gather, socialize, and curl.” – Jaime Battiste, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, and Member of Parliament for Sydney—Victoria
