COMPETITIVE CURLING

Competitive curling has always been an important part of the curling scene at the Nelson Curling Club. Hanging from the rafters and adorning the walls of the club are championship and medal banners that are proud testimony to the quality of competitive curlers that have called the Nelson Curling Club their home for over three decades.

In men's curling, Nelson has sent competitors to represent British Columbia at every level of national championship at one time or another. We have produced Canadian champions at the Master's level, B.C. champions at the Seniors level, and the 2005 Briar saw two of Nelson's finest representing British Columbia on the ice at Edmonton's Rexall Place.

Nelson has also produced two BC champion mixed rinks in 2003 and 2004. Despite coming from a population of less than 10,000 in a province of 4,000,000, our junior and senior ladies have been finalists at provincial competitions over several years.
