A Driver of Local Vitality: The Brownsburg Curling Club

The CAE Rive-Nord is proud to highlight the remarkable contribution of the Brownsburg Curling Club, a non-profit organization incorporated in 2019 but active in the community since 1959.

Beyond the sport itself, the club has become a true gathering place that energizes community life and enhances the region’s appeal. Supported by a team of dedicated volunteers, including its president, Nathalie Rochette (a member for more than 25 years), the club continues to grow and modernize its offerings to better meet the needs of families, youth, local workers, and retirees.

An Investment That Strengthens the Community

In 2025, the club turned to the CAE for support to modernize its equipment and improve its facilities; an essential step to ensure its long-term sustainability and to develop new local activities.

“This $45,000 loan allowed us to act more quickly while waiting for our grants and other funding. The application process with the CAE was easy, and everything moved fast” says Nathalie Rochette.

With nearly 100 members, the club plays an important role in local community life. It brings together residents of all ages, supports physical activity, and creates meaningful connections between generations.

A Place That Brings the Community Together and Gets the Region Moving

The club is multiplying its efforts to make curling more accessible and to strengthen the region’s recreational and sports offerings:

• Making it easier for young people to join and become the next generation of curlers
• Opening its doors to non-members to encourage discovery of the sport
• Continuing to develop its competitive league
• Hosting Friday Socials — a beloved local tradition
• Offering facility rentals for private events

 Curious to Try It Out?

If you’ve never tried curling, Friday Socials are the perfect introduction ; everyone is welcome: friends, families, coworkers, and the simply curious.

And if you feel like taking it a step further, the Learn-to-Curl program will help you discover a sport that’s accessible, welcoming… and surprisingly addictive.

The Brownsburg Curling Club isn’t just a place to play. It’s a place to connect.

And thanks to the support of the CAE, numerous partners, and passionate volunteers, its story continues to unfold, with and for the entire community.
