Mini Bonspiels on Saturdays are held monthly where participants can form teams and curl against other curlers from other Central Island Clubs in either a Novice or Experienced Divison.
We are always looking for new curlers at Parksville.

You will not be permitted on the ice with shoes that have been worn to the rink.
Equipment: It is not necessary to purchase any equipment for the beginner curler as we have step-on sliders, brooms, stabilizers and some grippers available. Limited selection of curling shoes, depending on size, on a first come first served basis are also available. Slip on grippers, sliders, curling shoes and brooms can be purchased from the Nanaimo Curling Club and a small selection at Qualicum Beach Curling Club. Should you decide to purchase your own gripper and slider, be sure to take with you the footwear you plan to use as important to guarantee a tight fit.
NOTE: Curlers 8, 9 & 10 years of age are REQUIRED to wear helmets, and all curlers 12 years of age or younger are RECOMMENDED to wear a helmet all times on ice.
