Hi All. Please see the below communique from Curl Manitoba released on September 25, 2020. FGCC will be following the below public health orders and Curl Manitoba guidelines.
On Monday, September 28, Winnipeg and surrounding areas are moving to level Orange – Restricted due to COVID-19 case levels increasing.
Following the communication from the Province of Manitoba this is for public gatherings not covered with their own orders. As the Province has stated, previous provisions in place for all other sectors in this region remain in place. Sport (Order 10 – Sporting and Recreational Activities) and Restaurant and Bars (Order 4 – Food Service and Order 5 – Licensed premises) have their own public orders which have not changed. Curling facilities may reopen as long as their operation complies with the requirements put into place by the public health orders (our Return to Play guidelines).
The Province, through Sport Manitoba, has provided us with the direction that at this time, the maximum occupancy of 10 people indoors and outdoors and the wearing of masks does not apply to those actively engaging in athletic or fitness activities.
Level Orange – Restricted states that mask use is mandatory inside the facility, however not mandatory while performing the activity or once seated at the table in the restaurant/bar. Masks must be worn in other areas of the club which would include lobbies, change rooms, stairways, washrooms, etc.
We ALL need to remain flexible and adhere to the recommendations of public health. It is of critical importance that all Curling Clubs and members continue to follow their Return to Play plans and protocols with emphasis on the fundamentals:
Stay home when sick.
Practice social distancing, hand washing/sanitizing and cough etiquette.
If you cannot physically distance, you should wear a mask to help reduce your risk.
Reduce the number of close contacts outside your household, and avoid closed-in or crowded spaces.
Follow public health guidance on travel and self-isolation.
We appreciate your efforts trying to make your club a safe place for all. We will continue to update you as we receive more information or additional clarification.
Dear members and staff. Please take the time to read and become familiar with the below 2020-21 Club Return to Play Rules & Guidelines document.
Your Club Executive has attempted to keep this document clear, concise and to the point. These rules and guidelines must be followed closely in order to keep all our members and staff safe, maintainin a fun and relaxed environment and keep our club operating viably.

It is with saddened hearts that the Fort Garry Curling Club announces the passing of Allen Keith King on April 4, 2020. Keith was an avid curler and won his share of events, some with the likes of Bob Trager. More importantly, Keith was an invaluable member and volunteer at the Fort Garry for many years and an honorary life member. Keith served on the Fort Garry Executive for several years and was President during the 1990-91 season. Keith volunteered his time for many undertakings around the club and his smiling face could often be seen in latter years as an on-ice umpire for various events. Keith also had a passion for fastball and both played and umpired for many years. The Fort Garry Executive and all membership offer their deepest sympathies to Keith's family during this time.
The Fort Garry Curling Club Executive convened a special meeting Monday, March 16 at 7pm in order to discuss club operations going forward. The Executive has decided to cease all club operations effective immediately due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes all ice and off ice activities. Thank you to all members for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time. We will be in touch when the club operations may resume as per health officials.
The recent news and events worldwide in association with the CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19), the Fort Garry Curling Club fully supports the below suggestions and precautions from Curl Manitoba. The club executive is carefully monitoring the overall situation and is making decisions on hosting various on or off ice events and club operations on an ongoing and fluid basis.
Men's Playoffs which were set to begin on Tuesday, March 17 and cancelled due to the Covid19 pandemic will be played this coming Fall prior to the start of the new 2020-21 regular season. We are currently working on contacting all Men's league skips and will update the old draw below with current draw times as soon as we can finalize teams participating.
