Tunnel Town Curling Club: 1720 – 56th Street, Delta, B.C. V4L 2B1; Phone: 604-943-9219 | Fax: 604-943-7560; email: tunneltown@telus.net | web: http://www.tunneltowncurlingclub.com; Region: 11; Tunnel Town Curling Club originated from a group of curlers from the Ladner area who rented ice at the Cloverdale Curling Club during the mid-nineteen fifties. This group joined forces with local figure skating and hockey enthusiasts to form the Delta Ice Stadium Society in July 1958. This Society leased, through the Municipality, a World War II hanger at the Boundary Bay Airport from the Department of National Defense and raised funds to install a skating rink and a four-sheet curling rink in that facility. The Delta Ice Stadium opened in February 1959 with the Ladner Curling Club, and other curling groups, renting ice from the Society. The Tunnel Town Curling Club was formed in early 1962 to combine the Ladner Curling Club and the other commercial curling groups into one organizations. The name was chosen to reflect the area served by the club and the newly constructed Department of Highway’s Deas Island Tunnel under the south arm of the Fraser River.
The Delta Ice Stadium was condemned by the Municipality in December 1971 due to structural problems. The Municipality then constructed a new Recreation Facility which included an ice arena and a six-sheet curling rink in South Delta (Tsawwassen) where the Tunnel Town Curling Club has rented ice since the 1972/73 season. The Curling Rink includes a lobby and viewing area at ice-level and a licensed lounge with a viewing area on the second floor.
