Affectionately known to curling fans as the "Mother Club", it has produced many Canadian and world champions. It is often considered to be the "St. Andrews" of curling because of its contribution to the sport in curling's most dominant region.


History


The original Granite Curling Club dates back to 1880. Its current downtown location and Tudor-framed clubhouse was built in 1913, and the building has since been designated as a Winnipeg Heritage Building.[1][2]

One of the early presidents was John B. Mather, who assumed that position in 1887.
