Halifax Curling Club established in 1824 is one of the oldest active curling clubs in Canada. It houses four sheets of dedicated ice and is located at 948 South Bland Street in Halifax's south end. In 1874, they were the first club to build an indoor facility in Nova Scotia. The facility was located on Tower Road but was later sold in 1892. A new facility was built on South Bland Street in 1899. This new facility was home to the first official game between Scotland and Canada; Scotland would take the victory 84–78. The club was rebuilt in 1974 due to fire damage. In 1928, Halifax Curling Club was the first facility in Nova Scotia to have artificial ice.[1]

In February 2015, the club suffered a roof collapse following an ice storm. The club reopened January 30 the following year.[2]
