As Manitoba Public Health orders did not allow for curling to open up as of yesterday, it is with heavy hearts that your FGCC Executive announces that this 2020-21 curling season is now cancelled. The ice plant was turned off late yesterday. As a board, we had to balance the possibility of opening with our finances and we took this very seriously.
We will have more information regarding personal item pick up as well as refunds in the next week or so.
For those who wish to support their club via a donation of fees or other, we are working on a tax receipt process so that you will be able to claim your donation on income tax. More info to follow.
Your FGCC Executive worked diligently this season to try and follow all public health orders and keep all our members safe. Countless hours were spent by all 8 Executive members these past several months trying our best to get our club open and to provide important recreation and a social outlet for all members.
As members ourselves, we know how important this club is to you the curling community and we hope that next year is a successful one.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your patience, understanding and your support.
We will be in touch with you soon with more information.
Regards,
Darren, Andrew, Jason, Ed, Dwayne, Steve, Jamie and Kathryn

Congratulations to Team McCullough for capturing the 2019-20 Men's Club Championship trophy on Tuesday, October 20 against a very formidable Team Ewasko. Even though this is not their first title, it must be just as sweet considering the pandemic going on all around us. The 2019-20 playdowns were postponed back in March due to the pandemic. Team McCullough will now have the opportunity to represent the Fort Garry at the upcoming Curling Regionals which are scheduled to be held at our club from November 20-22.
Lead - Kurtis Schlamp, Second - Justin Kusyk, Third - Travis Gesell, Skip - Jesse McCullough, Fifth - David Enns
