This project is essential for making the HCC a sustainable facility for everyone to be part of an active healthy living social network in Huntsville and Muskoka.
HCC membership over the past several seasons has experienced double digit growth, in large part due to the efforts to increase opportunities of all skills and ages to participate in curling. We now want to fully support Accessibility and encourage every member of the community to use our facilities. Learn to Curl, Youth programs, hosting more bonspiels has increased the usage of HCC and introduced over 150 net new Adult curlers to the sport since September 2019.
