Young families were moving into the area, most of whom were employees of Canadian National Railways, the Royal Bank of Canada and Air Canada.

Through a combination of debentures sold to the founding members and a floating loan from the bank, sufficient funds were raised to purchase a very large parcel of land, build the curling club and in 1962, the pool was dug, opening for its first full season in 1963.

They had to be large and green with a combination of sunny areas and shady trees...
