The Leaside Curling Club isn’t just a building. It’s a vibrant hub of activity in Toronto’s Leaside neighbourhood. Founded in 1963 it answered a community’s desire for a local curling space. The City of Toronto built the facility. It includes eight sheets of ice a lounge a pro shop a bar and change rooms.
For years the City’s Parks and Recreation Department managed the club. But in 2014 things changed. Members voted to lease the facility. They now handle operations and management themselves. This shows the club’s deep roots within the Leaside community.
Today the Leaside Curling Club is Ontario’s largest. It boasts over 1100 members. Leagues cater to all ages and skill levels. Even better John Epping a top-ranked curler on the World Curling Tour is the club pro. He offers individual and team instruction.
