Juan de Fuca Curling Centre

After 44 successful years operating out of the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre, Recreation Staff and the 5 Municipalities closed our doors.

We are moving forward, focusing on creating a Regional Facility for Vancouver Island and we seek YOUR support! The Juan de Fuca Curling Centre was formed in 1975. We are located in the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre, and our rink consists of eight sheets of artificial ice, complete with licensed lounge and viewing area. New members and beginners are welcome!

Our Story

The Juan de Fuca Curling Centre was formed in 1975. After 44 years, the Juan de Fuca Recreation Center and the 5 owner Municipalities decided to close our doors on March 18, 2019, after a very successful Under 18 Junior Curling Provincials hosted by our club.

Our Board of Directors and Membership fought hard to keep the doors from closing, with support of the remaining clubs of Victoria and Esquimalt and people from all over Canada, we made sure our voice was heard.

We discovered many discrepancies in the financial records that the staff of Juan de Fuca Recreation had provided to the Municipalities and we asked for an opportunity to provide a proposal to the owners proving our club could be run by our Membership each season - saving tax payer money on union employees.

In May of 2019 we presented our report to the owners and management of Juan de Fuca Recreation, and were warned if not all 5 Municipalities were on Board, the doors were still closed. We knew one CAO did not support us at all, and that final meeting proved we were not going to change his mind.

In October 2019, the Board of Directors called a special Membership meeting to ask the Members how they would like to proceed. A unanimous vote from the Membership has now moved the Board of Directors and the Association into a direction for the future.

We will work closely with Curl BC, and the local Curling Clubs to plan for the possibility of a Regional Facility. This facility will become a central training hub while also offering the opportunity for the much needed sheets of ice our communities need. The sport of curling is growing, and the island should want to be apart of the amazing opportunities our sport provides many!

We encourage everyone, whether a curler or not to become a Member of the JDFCCA. You can have your voice be apart of the future of curling on the South Island.
