April 3, 2026 – End of Season!
President’s Message
Thank you to all members for making this a successful season. The new league structure was a success, with all evening leagues full. The Learn to Curl session brought in enthusiastic new curlers again. Through our bonspiels and your generosity the club supported the Mississippi Mills Youth Centre, the Almonte Public Library Food Cupboard and of course the Almonte General Hospital Foundation. I’d like to thank all members who stepped up to help run the club, from ice maintenance, managing volunteers, to organizing and helping out at bonspiels.
This year we celebrated our 170th anniversary, participating in the Santa Claus parade which was a new event for us. I hope you picked up your anniversary pin and bought some anniversary-branded clothing.
I hope to see you at our Annual Meeting on May 19, and I hope you have a great summer with plans to join us again in the fall. Registration for the 2026-2027 season is September 8.
ACC Anniversary – 170 years rocking in Almonte!
Thanks for helping us celebrate this milestone anniversary. It’s been fun going back through old issues of the Almonte Gazette and seeing how times have changed, but realizing that enjoyment of the game and the socializing that goes along with it have continued throughout our history. Thanks to the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum, we have access to digitized versions of the Gazette that make it possible to go back in Almonte’s history.
Next year we’ll start to think about celebrating our 175th anniversary!
