The Fort Rouge Curling Club is a curling club located in the Fort Rouge district of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Known as “The Home of Friendly Curling,” the club has hosted many successful teams on both the provincial and national level.
The Fort Rouge Curling Club joined the Manitoba Curling Association in 1915, while the Fort Rouge Ladies Curling Club was one of the founding members of the Manitoba Ladies Curling Association in 1924. In 1919, the first Fort Rouge Curling Club rink was built at the corner of Kylemore Avenue and Osborne Street. This building would later be demolished, and a new facility was built in 1959, a few blocks away on Daly Street in the Lord Roberts neighbourhood where it stands today.[1] The Home of Friendly Curling's clubhouse has been recognized as a historical site by the Manitoba Historical Society.[2][3]
The curling club also host the A&V drive in restaurant, a seasonal venue serving Greek and Canadian cuisine. The club also host the Dan Hildebrand Lounge, a bar and snack area with views of the curling rink. [4]
