This fall, the Town of Niverville has set aside funds to give the Niverville Curling Club some much-needed renovations to its aging facility.
“They are doing two things,” says NCC President Joel Martens. “Upstairs they’re renovating the bathroom. We got a $10,000 grant to redo the bathrooms. And in the basement, we are going to be putting in a new floor,
along with updating the canteen area and putting in new cabinets.”
The curling club hosts more than just curling. The facility is rented all year round for a variety of functions. “When we did our first reno seven years ago, it was really dungy,” Martens says. “One summer, we wanted to spruce things up. After that, yoga and bootcamps have been held there. It gets rented out to family gatherings and parties. During the day, the upstairs sometimes gets first-aid courses. There has been drivers ed training, too.”
Ryan Dyck, the town’s Manager of Works and Operations, says that demolition will likely already have taken
place by the time this paper comes out. He hopes to complete the work at the beginning of October.
While the curling club itself is footing the bill for new cabinets and countertops in the basement, the town is springing for a tiled athletic floor that will be more conducive to yoga and other similar activities.
The curling season begins January 6, running 3 nights per week. There is room in the schedule for 18 teams, with 4 members per team. New teams generally have to join the waiting list.
