Hello Members, from your Executive team of Darren, Ed, Dwayne, Steve, Andrew, Jamie, Kathryn and Jason.

Well, these past two years have been challenging for all of us in our daily lives. Our sympathies go out to those who lost loved ones or are dealing with the aftermath of Covid-19 effects.

Our Fort was built strong enough to weather the Covid storm and we are anticpating a fresh curling reset this coming fall. We are planning to start league play just after Thanksgiving if current health restrictions stay in place.

Our heartfelt thanks to all members who graciously donated back their dues to invest in our Friendly Fort. As an Executive and members ourselves, we were all touched by your generosity, patience and understanding and it has kept us going throughout these past two years.

We have a new icemaker in Michael Trager and he will be busy installing the ice immediately following the Federal election polling station rental at our club in the coming weeks.

Lori is back as our bar manager and Mitch is returning to provide our catering and restaurant services. In his words, "How could I resist?" So fortunate to have them both!

Public health orders continue to evolve and we will follow them as required. Very likely that folks will have to be double vaccinated to enter the facility with children under 12 who are not vaccinated accompanied by an adult. Mask use may be mandated inside the facility as well.

We are all excited to be back and we hope that you are too! Everyone has missed what the Fort has had to offer in terms of curling, physical and mental exercise, socializing and friendships.

Hope you can all come back and start throwing stones at houses very soon...........

Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.

Welcome back!!!!!

Darren, Ed, Dwayne, Steve, Andrew, Jamie, Kathryn and Jason

FGCC has recently hired a new icemaker. Michael Trager has accepted a 2 year contract with our club and has various ice tech certifications and experience. Michael has worked with the likes of Greg Ewasko and is very excited about making our ice as soon as we can get back to throwing rocks at houses.

The Executive wishes to offer a sincere thank you to our outgoing icemaker, Brad Purpur, and we wish him all the best with his new endeavours. Brad took over from Vic when he became ill and overcame many challenges to keep our rocks sliding down the ice.

Welcome Michael!

Help protect those around you, yourself and support your club with these quality, comfortable and sharp looking masks. These masks are 3 layer with an antibacterial layer (which are now being recommended) and are superior to regular cloth masks.

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

Thank you to Darren Needham (Drawmaster/Club President), Brad Purper (ice maker) and Lori Lang (bar manager) for providing our playdown competitors with an enjoyable and safe playdown experience. Thank you to all competitors for following club Covid rules and guidelines and for your patience as we navigate these uncharted pandemic waters. You have all proven that curling can continue during this pandemic in a fun and enjoyable manner while staying healthy and safe.

The FGCC is now accepting e-Transfers for Member rental league as well as Men's membership payments. Email the club at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.
