This three week program is designed to introduce new curlers to the game of curling. Whether you sign up as a couple, with a friend or group of friends, or by yourself, you will be introduced to the basics of the game. No need to become a member of the club (but after you're finished, we know you will want to). Instruction is given by qualified, experienced curlers from the club, who will share their enthusiasm for the sport through class discussion, video presentations by some of the top curlers in Canada and, of course, on ice practice and games.

• Members interested in league play are requested to complete their registration no later than September 15 in order to give league convenors time to make up their schedules.   
• Registrations are usually not complete until fully paid. Due to the current situation with COVID-19, we will not be taking payment at this time. You will be notified when payment is due.
• Members who rolled all or a portion of last year’s payment over to this season will see their credit appear when they reach Step 5, the Review step before submitting their registration.
• A new Capital Levy ($25) has been added this season. This is being done to raise money for future Capital Improvements that are not the responsibility of the City (i.e. furniture)

We hope you are having a safe and enjoyable summer!

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been receiving more and more inquiries asking when we will start accepting registrations for the 2021-2022 winter tennis and curling season. They have come mostly from Tam members, but also from members of other clubs who have been displaced by their previous clubs’ closure or decision to no longer run a curling program, leaving them in need of a new home. We've heard from many members about what the Club's policy should be regarding vaccination verification requirements or "passports", and how that should extend to permitting or not permitting unvaccinated individuals from playing. The intent of this email is to clarify the Board's position on this.

Vaccinations offer a tremendous public health and safety benefit, particularly for those with pre-existing health conditions. As such, the Board strongly encourages all of our members to be vaccinated and have implemented a policy requiring all members who are eligible to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus to be fully vaccinated.

All the levels of government were represented this morning at a virtual meeting to announce "... joint funding to support the rehabilitation of the Tam Heather Curling and Tennis Club in Toronto."

"The Government of Canada is investing over $1 million in this project through the Community, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada plan. The Government of Ontario is providing more than $900,000, while the City of Toronto is contributing more than $700,000 toward this project.

Project work will include the replacement of various building systems including both HVAC and life safety systems, improvements to various interior finishes, as well as a number of accessibility upgrades including a refurbished accessible change room in the basement level and an accessible access route from the tennis bubble to the building. These improvements will make the Tam Heather Curling Club more energy efficient and accessible while providing an opportunity for expanding community recreational programming in improved spaces."

Work is already underway on an elevator connecting the upper lounge, the arena and the lower lounge.

The Tam Heather club is available for private rentals. Both the upper and lower lounges may be booked for special events such as weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, meetings or dances.

The first step in becoming a Member is to sign up for an account. 

Thinking of trying the sport of curling?

Curling is a unique sport that requires both skill and strategy. It is often referred to as chess on ice. It is a lifelong sport that can be learned at any age. Whether playing in a fun league or in a competitive ladder the emphasis is always on sportsmanship and fair play. Being a social sport by nature, it is not uncommon for teams to socialize off the ice where lasting friendships are often made.
