The Marmora and Area Curling Club has been fortunate to have received many grants over the years, starting with a Wintario grant to help establish the curling building and infrastructure in 1977-78. Over the last 40+ years, the club has received over $700,000 in grants which has been very helpful in establishing and maintaining a high quality curling environment, while still keeping the sport of curling affordable for residents from Marmora and the surrounding areas.
