The Collingwood Curling Club is hosting a community tournament called The Shamrock Shpiel on March 14, 2026, in Collingwood, Ontario. The themed event brings local residents together for a day of social competition and sport participation.
The organization has a deep history in the region, dating back to its founding in 1881. For more than 75 years, the club has operated from its current location on Hume Street after starting on the natural ice of Georgian Bay.
The club runs as a volunteer-based organization and serves over 600 members from across the Southern Georgian Bay area. Except for the ice makers, the club relies on its members to manage operations, which helps keep fees affordable for local families.
Tournaments like The Shamrock Shpiel are a regular feature for the club, which functions as a social and recreational hub for the town. The facility also hosts programs for various groups, including youth and wheelchair curling leagues.
