Bar Food

In addition to the menu below, nightly specials are listed by the bar in the lounge.

Points system for late registrations

• The Match Committee will use an expanded points system in their consideration of teams who have applied to curl in the upcoming season. While final decisions will rest heavily on the discretion of the Match Committee, the following will be taken into consideration.
  • Returning league team
  • Payment of membership in full (no post dated cheques after the deadline)
  • Returning OCC member
  • Returning league member
  • Team wanting to switch (but not add) leagues
  • Longevity and activity as an OCC member

If any OCC league is over-subscribed for a season, the policy to be accepted into any evening league (Mon-Fri) is as follows:

• All four registered players from a specific league, in the prior season, returning to that same league – automatic entry
• Three of four registered players from a specific league, in the prior season, returning to that same league – automatic entry
• Point system for new teams:
  • Three (3) points per player, if a registered member of that same league in the previous season
  • Two (2) points per player if a registered player in any other OCC league, in the previous season
  • One (1) point per player for any new member
  • The points are totalled and the higher ranked teams get accepted until the league is full.

Finally, all teams must adhere to the OCC's sign-up deadline and payment of fees. (One team member must pay in full to hold the spot)

There are annual club events open to members and non-members with no experience required. Watch our news for exact dates.

The Currier Cup

This event, now usually held in January or February, is probably the longest annual sports trophy competition in North America. The annual Ottawa CC versus the Buckingham CC competition began in 1861 when Joseph Currier donated the cup. He was the man who had built and lived in 24 Sussex Drive. See the picture above and our History.

Any club member who wishes to play in this event, which alternates each year between venues, should contact the Member's Services Director. The host club supplies a meal and refreshments. 

The Ottawa-Rideau Challenge

This rivalry has been going on since 1909. The Rideau is the other downtown Ottawa curling facility that began when some disgruntled Ottawa members left this club to form their own curling group. The issue was this club's temperance policy.

That isn't the case anymore as the annual event takes place between Christmas and New Year's Day, adding to the spirited competition. Relatives and friends visiting club members are welcome to participate. The venue alternates annually between clubs and the host club provides a meal at no charge to visiting club.

The Roy Blair Bonspiel

Curl with a distinguished curler at skip and enjoy the chance of participating in a Calcutta in mid-April. In the Roy Blair participants declare what position they would like to play. Then a draft night is held where players are called up by positions (leads go first) and choose which skip they wish to play for. A few days after the draft night each team plays in a number of truncated games in a "points" bonspiel format. The winning rink is the one that accumulates the most points after the Blair is done.

Roy Blair represented the spirit of the Ottawa in that he was a great curler but also wanted everyone, no matter what their skill level, to participate. His life ended early in a tragic drowning accident in 1977.  

The Gordie Perry Bonspiel

Established in 1961, this late April bonspiel is meant to be a fun outing to end the curling season. The seven-day event sees players of all skill levels compete in any combination of four (4) players. Novice curlers to "professional" curlers are all on the ice at the same time.

The emphasis is on fun and rubbing shoulders with the famous and not so famous. The important thing is to rub shoulders. Special event nights occur during the last few days of the spiel, live entertainment is supplied as well as a great closing night banquet.

Gordie Perry was an exceptional Ottawa Curling Club member who began this spiel in 1961. He was the last skip to win an "irons" play championship in 1950. An excellent athlete he played in the 1931 Grey Cup for Montreal when they won the national championship. He is also in Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame, the Quebec Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.

His spiel is still goes strong just like Gordie did – he lived to be 100 years young.

The Club Championship

The OCC Club Championship wraps up the year. 

Our men's and women's champions will represent the Ottawa CC in the Dominion Curling Club Championship.

Quebec Challenge Cup

The Quebec Challenge Cup is the oldest competitive trophy in North America, and has been continually contested since 1874. The series is open to any club involved with the OVCA or Curling Quebec as an event under the Canadian Branch. Due to the vast number of clubs waiting to challenge for the Cup, it is typically a 5-7 year cycle to get another chance to challenge for this large, prestigious trophy.

The Quebec Challenge involves having a 10-end double rink curling game. At the conclusion of each challenge, the Cup is awarded to the club with the highest aggregate score.

The Ottawa Curling Club challenged for the Cup (Challenge #801) on April 5, 1998, and Ottawa narrowly lost to cup-holders R.C.N. (Navy) C.C. by a score of 12-11. Ottawa defaulted Challenge #858 in March 2004, and the Cup remained with R.C.N. (Navy) C.C.  Ottawa also did not participate in Challenge #912 on November 22, 2009, and the Cup was retained by Baie d’Urfé.

On Oct 1, 2016, our OCC double rink skipped by Spencer Cooper and Eddie Chow challenged the Quebec Challenge Cup holders, Cornwall Curling Club (Challenge #968), and emerged victorious! For the first time since 1957, the Quebec Challenge Cup trophy resided at the Ottawa Curling Club!

Annual General Meeting

Held in mid-September this meeting closes the previous year's business of the Ottawa Curling Club Limited. The Board of Directors reports on the Club's finances and operations during the previous year and new directors are elected. It is your chance to have a say in how the club operates.

Spring Information Meeting

This member information meeting takes place just before the Roy Blair draft night. At this informal meeting, the Board of Directors gives an update on how the season went operationally and answers questions from the membership. 

Watch for news and for all club meeting dates.

Founder

Colonel Allan Gilmour (1816-1895) and his brother-in-law James Manuel established the curling club in 1851. At the time, both men were wealthy lumber giants in Bytown (Ottawa).

         Beechwood cemetary plot

Evolution Of The Club

• Starting with just 14 members, the Bytown Curling Club is the oldest club in the area by 37 years. It began on the Rideau Canal.
• 1855 – The club name switched to the Ottawa Curling Club. Members didn't use rocks - they each brought their own “iron” rocks to play - and did so for a century.
• 1858 – A shed on Lisgar Street provides for 1 sheet of ice.
• 1860 – Gilmour pays for a lumber shed for 1 sheet of ice where the Supreme Court now stands, which was close to his home.

 Joseph Currier

• 1861 – For a cup donated by Joseph Currier, the Ottawa and Buckingham Curling Clubs begin an annual competition that continues today. Another rich lumberman, Currier, after suffering the death of 3 children and 2 wives builds a stone mansion called Gorffwysfa (Welsh for 'place of rest'). The mansion is located at 24 Sussex Drive.
• 1867 – A frame rink for 2 sheets of ice is erected on Albert Street.
• 1875 – The long association of Governors General begins when the Marquis of Dufferin donates the first Governor General Trophy for a double-rink iron competition. The Ottawa eventually wins 31 including 4 of 5 gifted by Lord Stanley and 1 gifted by Earl Grey. The Ottawa has its own Stanley and Grey Cups!
• 1878 – The Albert Street rink is moved south to Vittoria Street at a cost of $510.

Sir Sanford Fleming

• 1879 – Some illustrious members join:  Sir Sanford Fleming, the engineer of the CPR and time zone inventor as well as Canada’s second Prime Minister, Alexander McKenzie.
• 1888 – Lead by Sir Sanford Fleming, disgruntled OCC curlers form their own club because of the Ottawa’s temperance policy.
• 1899 – The Royal Victoria Jubilee Trophy is gifted by the Royal Caledonian Curling Club to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The Ottawa wins the inaugural trophy, but does not win it again until 1939. The Jubilee was for many years the most prestigious curling event to win in the country.

Vittoria Street

• 1906 - John Manuel, President of the Club since the death of his uncle Allan Gilmour in1895,erects at his own expense a modern three-story brick building with three sheets of ice on the Vittoria site. Described as the finest club quarters in Canada, it is officially opened by Governor General Earl Grey, who throws the first stone. Opening day also features a match between Ottawa and Arnprior for the Quebec Challenge Cup, which was initiated in 1874 and is still being contested today.
• 1914 – John Manuel dies and is succeeded by nephew and heir James Manuel, who was a main force in the establishment of the Royal Ottawa Hospital. The Vittoria site is expropriated by the federal government. A similar building is begun by James Manuel at 440 O'Connor Street, with a bowling green alongside for the Vittoria Bowling Club.

O'Conner Street Facade

• 1916 – The 4 sheet O'Connor Street building opens; that same year the Centre Block of Parliament burns down.
• 1921 – The end of an era. The Manuel family line ends with the death of Dr. William Manuel, a brother of James. The Club property is turned over to a trust company for management.
• 1929 - Letters patent are granted under the Companies Act of Ontario, incorporating The Ottawa Curling Club, Limited "to promote the games of curling and bowling". The Club is acquired from the Manuel estate by mortgaging the property and with proceeds from a stock issue (425 shares at $50 each).
• 1931 – The first artificial curling ice in Ottawa is installed and a fifth sheet added.
• 1933 – Women are allowed to curl in their own division and the Vittoria Lawn Bowling Club ceases operation during the Depression.

While steeped in history that began in 1851, the modern day Ottawa Curling Club is all about its members.

We strive to provide the best playing conditions we can while also providing a nurturing and supportive environment that allows our members to achieve whether they are playing at the highest levels of the sport or volunteering at one of our numerous functions.

Members can curl in numerous leagues, use practice ice and avail themselves of the club lounge and hospitality. 

The club also plays host to numerous events and rental leagues, including the weekly Special Olympics curling program and the annual National Blind and Vision Impaired Curling Championships.

Staff and volunteers

The OCC has a professional manager who oversees the day-to-day operation of the club and the five sheets of ice are maintained by a professional ice technician. The club operates a professional kitchen, where meals are prepared by paid kitchen staff, and all servers and bar tenders are employed by the club.

An elected, volunteer Board of Directors sets the policy for the club with member input encouraged. Members also have the opportunity to volunteer with the club throughout the year, in support of many tournaments and events.

No matter your curling skill level or years of experience, the OCC makes you feel at home!

Returning members use the same account to re-register their membership and leagues each year.   Everyone else must click "Sign-Up" to request an account. Once your  your on-line account request has been approved, you may register for membership and request leagues.

• Leagues are set in September, at the beginning of each season. 
• Joining a league mid-season is at the discretion of the club.  

Please see Membership and League Fees for the fees for each membership category. 

Returning Members should review the Sign-up Policy for returning teams.

New Members are encouraged to contact the Club Manager for guidance on registering a team-based league.

Primary Member Options

There are 2 primary Categories for Ottawa Curling Club membership:

1. Full-playing membership (full member fee)
2. Pay as you play (base membership fee + fee for each league in which you curl)

Members in category 1 or 2 are required to pay additional fees as set by Curling Canada and the Ontario Curling Association, in additional to any other Ottawa Curling Club fees, such as the current Capital Expenditure Assessment (CEA) Fee.

Other Member Options

Fifth-Player / Spare / Practice

The Fifth-Player / Spare / Practice category is referred to as Category 3

Members in Category 3 are required to pay any additional fees assessed by the Ottawa Curling Club, such as the current Capital Expenditure Assessment (CEA) Fee.

This membership confers specific sparing privileges for all regular club leagues (not rentals).

A member in this category can spare up to 3 times each for any team in any regular club league. Additionally, the member can spare an unlimited number of times as a fifth player for one (1) team in one regular league as long as that team already includes at least 4 fully paid members.

More information in our Sparing Policy.

Social Members

The Social membership is a special membership category.  Social members are not Class B Preference shareholders and cannot vote at Ottawa Curling Club meetings.

Students

Students (with a valid student ID) pay 80% of the fees on category 1 and 2 (20% discount). There is no discount on fees that do not qualify for the student discount.  The OCA fee does not qualify for any discounts.
