If you are a new curler or just new to our club, Welcome! We hope that you will enjoy the fun and friendly atmosphere here at the Granite! Besides league play, there are several social-curling events to take part in. There are curling clinics; mini-spiels hosted by the Women's section that includes instruction; and the very popular Hospitality Bonspiel in November hosted by the Friday Mixed Recreational section. If you are a novice curler that would like to improve your curling abilities, please consider joining a team in one of the competitive sections. Playing against experienced curlers is a great way to become more involved in the strategy and enhance your level of skill. If this would appeal to you, give your name to our Club Manager, Freda Braker, and if a team is looking for a player, she can put both parties in touch with each other. The afternoon and evening Open House dates of October 9, 10, & 11 will have practice ice available. We will once again have the addition of a Public Open House on Saturday, October 13.

  • President's Annual Report to the Carleton University Board Of
    President’s Annual Report to the Carleton University Board of Governors 2016-2017 The goals on which we agreed for this year included maintaining current enrolment, while adjusting for formula changes, achieving strategic plan goals, balancing the budget, ensuring the success of the 75th anniversary celebrations, and continuing to achieve the fundraising campaign goals. Enrolment goals were achieved. Strategic plan goals were met or surpassed in nearly every case. There remains, of course, some work for next year, the final year of the plan (Ours the Task Eternal!). The budget was balanced. The 75th anniversary is off to an excellent start and activities are well planned for the rest of the year. Fundraising has had the best year in history. This is the result of an extraordinary team with whom it has been a great privilege to work. A notable event was the naming of Richcraft Hall in recognition of a gift from the Singhal family. Another was the gift by the Ottawa Senators Foundation and Bell Let’s Talk to the Daniel Alfredsson Scholarship in Mental Health. The generosity of alumni, the campus community, and our friends around the world was heartwarming. Alumni in Jakarta and Hong Kong proudly remembered their days here and lent their support to the next generation of Carleton scholars. While the Strategic Plan goals were more than achieved in nearly every category, retention and graduation rates improved only slightly. We will continue to work on improving them in the coming year. An analysis, using data analytics, of areas on which we plan to concentrate in the coming year to improve results was presented to the Board of Governors this year.
