The Rotary Club of Huntsville recently made a five-thousand-dollar donation to the Huntsville Curling Club for the Club’s Access 125 capital campaign aimed at adding accessibility features to the club.
Rotary has a diversity, equity, and inclusion policy. This donation fits nicely with that policy, explained Rotarians.
In the 2025/26 season, the Huntsville Curling Club (HCC) will celebrate its 125th anniversary. Over the next few seasons, the Club is embarking on the final stages of renovation plans to create a fully accessible facility and to set the foundation for the next 125 years! Given the age of the core building infrastructure, substantial changes are required to make HCC fully accessible. As such, $500,000 in additional renovations at the Club have been forecasted, including:
- An accessible club entrance,
- a lift to allow participants to move to each level of the club,
- accessible washroom and change room facilities.
HCC introduced its capital campaign called Access125 with a goal of raising over $125K. All funds raised through Access125 will go directly toward the installation of the new accessible front entrance and the elevator lift. Access125 started in September 2023 and will run to mid-2026.
