Urban history in Selkirk MB - Selkirk Curling Club

© 2022, Christian Cassidy

In 2020, I had a chance to do a lot of historic research for the City of Selkirk for their new online museum and archive collection. This series is a brief summary of some of the interesting buildings and places that I found there.  If you want to try someplace new or an urban walk, definitely check out Selkirk!

Selkirk Curling Club
381 Jemima Street, Selkirk, MB
Architect: Moody Moore and Partners
Opened: January 13, 1962


The six-sheet, $100,000 Selkirk Curling Club was designed by Moody Moore Partners of Winnipeg. It was constructed by a consortium of local contractors and building supply companies that wanted to be part of the project.

The sod breaking took place in August 1961 on the old Selkirk and District Fair Grounds and the first game was played in the new complex on December 27, 1961. It officially opened to the public on January 13, 1962.
