Manitoba Organization: Springfield Curling Club

Curling in this club, located at Dugald, started in 1943 with a one-sheet rink. It was increased to two sheets by 1946. The club was established officially in 1948.

In 1960, a new four-sheet curling rink was built and, in 1990, a new clubhouse replaced the old one.
