Curling in Belleville from the Early Stages until the 1920’s

The formation of the original curling club in Belleville occurred 60 years after the 1807 opening of the very first curling club in Canada, The Royal Montreal Club, established after Scottish curlers introduced the sport to Lower Canada.

The club in Belleville was formed in the year of Confederation on December 16, 1867, at a meeting held in the facilities of the Ontario Skating Rink. The name of the new club was The Belleville Curling Club.
