Hi Members,

Ellerslie regrets to inform our members that due to some technical difficulties, we are having to delay the start of the season, hopefully, by 1 week. Our projected start date is now October 4th, 2020. We know our members will be understanding as we wade through these unpredictable times. Any posted schedules will reflect this change.

Thank you

We know that some of our members are still confused about the new, on ice, rules, regarding return to play. The Leduc Curling Club, with the Sherwood Park Curling Club, have produced this wonderful video, highlighting the changes, and have allowed us to share it with our members as well. We hope this gives a little more understanding as we move forward in these uncertain times.

Thank you to the Leduc Curling Club and Sherwood Park Curling Club, for creating such a helpful video!

On behalf of the board of directors of the Hec Gervais Academic & Curling Scholarship foundation, I would like to congratulate Brianna Levesque for being selected as one of the 2020 recipients of the scholarships that are awarded each year. Brianna was a very worthy candidate and exceeded all of the requirements as outlined in the application.  Brianna is dedicated to the sport of curling as a competitor, as well as a builder in giving back to the game, all while committing to being successful in her academic endeavours. We wish Brianna every success in the coming year as she continues to excell in her academics and strives to reach her curling goals.

With heavy hearts, the Ellerslie Curling Club send their condolences to the family of Cameron Jantz. Please know that our thoughts, love and prayers are with you during this sad time. Cam was a well know member of our club and will be greatly missed by all his friends, and players who played with him and against him. He was always a great time, on the ice, and after the game in the lounge. He will be forever remembered.

 FOR THE 2021-2022 CURLING SEASON

Curling Alberta has implemented a per curler fee of $13.00 that is to be paid to Curling Alberta starting the 2021-2022 season.   This fee will be paid by every curler that curls in any league at Ellerslie.  The breakdown of this fee is:

Curling Alberta Affiliation Fee - $10.00

Curling Canada Affiliation Fee  - $2.00

Personal Insurance Fee - $1.00

This fee will be payable by each curler to Curling Alberta.  If you curl in more than 1 club, you will only pay this fee once.  You will be required to show proof of payment of this fee, from the club you pay your fees to first, in order not to be charged at the second club.  If you require further information please refer to the Curling Alberta website under membership fee.
