Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Royal Caledonian Curling Club. Canadian Branch : In 1838, the Grand (later Royal) Caledonian Curling Club was founded in Scotland with the purpose of uniting curlers throughout the world. In 1852, representatives of the Quebec, Stadacona, Montreal, and Montreal Thistle curling clubs met in Montreal to establish the Canadian Branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club in order to promote the game in Canada. Curling clubs from Ontario and Quebec joined the Branch, but as the game became increasingly popular in Ontario, where clubs predominantly used granite stones rather than the irons employed by Branch clubs, other curling associations were organized. The Branch's membership became restricted to parts of Quebec and Eastern Ontario.

In 1904, a group of women curlers met to form a permanent organization for yearly bonspiels, and the following year their committee adopted the name Ladies Curling Association. The Granite Curling Association was established in 1924, to encourage the granite game within the Canadian Branch. In 1950, the operations of the Granite Curling Association and the Canadian Branch were amalgamated. In 1956, the Canadian Branch became affiliated with the Dominion (later Canadian) Curling Association which included all other provincial curling organizations in Canada.
