Fort Smith Curling and Winter Sports Centre

Good strategy gets you far on the ice, but solid protection keeps the whole club standing!

A massive thank you to Norland Agencies for their steadfast, long-term support as an ongoing sponsor of the Fort Smith Curling Club. For years, we’ve relied on their team in Hay River to cover our insurance needs, ensuring our ice, our facility, and our members are protected season after season.

Having regional partners who understand the North and back local community sports makes all the difference. Thank you, Norland Agencies, for standing behind us and keeping our club covered end after end! And for their loyal sponsorship of our club year after year!

A perfect delivery isn't the only way to connect. We need reliable technology to keep our club moving, internet connectivity to update our social media presence, online scores, livestreaming games, and TV to show live curling games. For several years, we've had the best northern technology partner on our side.

We are incredibly grateful to Northwestel for their continuous and loyal support of the Fort Smith Curling Club. Northwestel doesn't just sponsor us; they are true team players, keeping us connected in the club, online, and across the North.

Thank you, Northwestel, for keeping us connected and their ongoing sponsorship!!!

Post-Game Perfection

What’s better than making a perfect draw to the button? Celebrating it with your team and the best pizza in town!

We want to send a massive, multi-year "Thank You" to Berro's Pizzeria for their unwavering and loyal support. They’ve been a key part of the Fort Smith Curling Club family for the past several years, helping us keep our leagues active and our members very, very well-fed!

Community spirit is what keeps us sliding, and Berro's Pizzeria exemplifies that spirit. They make sure the 'social' part of our club is just as good as the 'sport' part.

Make your next post-league dinner a Berro's Pizzeria night. Supporting them supports us!

📍 Visit them at 195 McDougal Rd in Fort Smith and tell them the Curling Club sent you! 🥌

Nothing pairs better with a great game on the ice than cold refreshments with your team afterward!

A massive shoutout to Territorial Beverages for their incredible ongoing support of the Fort Smith Curling Club. Partners like Territorial Beverages keep our lounge thriving, help us host fantastic bonspiels, and ensure our club remains the go-to spot for community connection all winter long. Territorial Beverage is an official scoreboard sponsor of the Fort Smith Curling Club.

Thank you, Territorial Beverages, for keeping the cheer in our post-game traditions end after end!

Partner Spotlight - Air Tindi

Great shots are built on solid foundations—and so is our club.

A massive shoutout to Air Tindi for their ongoing commitment to the Fort Smith Curling Club. Continuous support like theirs lets us keep league fees accessible, maintain top-tier ice, and bring our community together every week. Air Tindi is a scoreboard sponsor of the Fort Smith Curling Club.
