The Committee on the Future of Curling in Windsor-Essex released its official response to the City of Windsor's recent budgetary agenda item, 11-9 Roseland Golf and Curling Redevelopment. You can find that response in its entirety as well as the agenda item HERE
Here is an excerpt from that response:
We believe there are currently three options under consideration:
- Renovate, and upgrade, the existing Roseland clubhouse,
- Demolish the existing clubhouse, replace it with a smaller facility for golf, and add a separate fit-for-curling facility to the Roseland property, or
- Demolish the existing clubhouse, replace it with a smaller facility for golf, and relocate curling to an existing (surplus) ice hockey arena.
Our priority remains to save the existing Roseland clubhouse.
On Monday, April 3rd at 10:00 am, City Council is preparing to deliberate and discuss this topic. The committee is sending forth a delegation to present on behalf of not only all the Roseland curlers but every one of you who has signed this petition.
A show of support from the curling community would be welcome. The committee will speak on curler’s behalf to either keep Roseland open to curling, or to have a voice in whatever alternate decisions might be made. Everyone is invited to bring their curling brooms and show silent support during the meeting.

Lastly, thank you again to all of you for the overwhelming support. We would not be at this point without your hard work and dedication. Continue to share this petition with friends and family
