The Board of Directors, acting on the modified Stage 2 orders set out by the Premier of Ontario, is advising members that the Granite club facilities will be closed for a period of 28 days effective Oct 10, 2020. The advisory has stated that no games are to take place and all food and drink service is prohibited. Although this does not restrict training, the Board, for significant logistical and financial reasons, has taken the decision to close the club to all curling activities.

Our reopening in September went very well, but we are now caught in the second wave and must all do our part to help flatten the curve again. The Covid 19 sub-committee will be meeting frequently to monitor the situation and advise the Board as to when the club will be able to reopen once restrictions are lifted. We commend the members who have participated in curling activities to date, and our staff who have worked to keep the club environment as safe as possible.

Further email updates will follow to keep our members up to date on the situation.

Thank you for your continued support. Stay safe.

Granite Board of Directors

The COVID Sub-Committee has prepared a Return to Curling Plan with guidance from the Provincial government, Ottawa Public Health, CurlON and Curl Canada. You will notice as you read the plan that our curling experience when we return will be very different from normal. Every part has been adapted to ensure that all members are interacting and curling in as safe an environment as possible.

As the government has now placed the majority of Ontario in stage 3, the Board of Directors has formed a sub-committee to plan how we may return to curling at the Granite in the Fall. With reference to CurlOn’s return to play guidelines, we are working towards a detailed plan that will cover all aspects of our return so that we can curl in as safe & comfortable a manner as possible. This will be released mid-August along with a short survey for members to fill out & return.

The Granite is looking ahead!
