Rainbow Rockers Curling League

Work is underway to lock in team compositions and set first‑round divisions. Skips will receive an email from the Membership Coordinator (Mike McGuire) by the first week of September to confirm your lineup, including members and positions.

In the meantime, check your schedules against the season calendar and submit any bye requests for Round 1 by September 11 (1 week before OPENR, our pre-season social event). Requests go to Patrick Peloquin ([email protected]).

Lastly, we have a list of enthusiastic curlers eager to join! If your team can welcome a 5th player, it’s a great way to meet someone new and help strengthen our inclusive community. Email Mike ([email protected]) to get started.

A huge shoutout to our incredible Rainbow Rockers volunteers who brought the spirit of curling to the streets at Capital Pride! Thank you for bringing your energy and enthusiasm to represent our league. It was also amazing to see so many familiar faces at the Pride Parade!

Happy Pride Rainbow Rockers!

Full season fees are due by Thursday, September 18. This season’s fees have increased by $20 to help reflect updated expenses and ensure we can continue to run a great league. 

Fee Summary

You can pay in person (card, cash, or cheque) at the OPENR on September 18.

If you’re unable to attend, payment can also be made via e-transfer to [email protected]. As always, reach out to a member of the Executive for any questions regarding payment support and flexibility. 

Join the Rainbow Rockers Curling League as we celebrate Capital Pride! We’re seeking volunteers to help operate the Street Curling Express Rink during the Capital Pride Street Festival on Sunday, August 24, between 12:00 PM and 8:00 PM. Volunteers will be scheduled in 2-hour blocks, making it easy to participate and still enjoy the festivities.

This is a great chance to connect with the community, promote curling, and celebrate Pride in style. Volunteers are encouraged to sign up with friends for a fun and festive experience.

We’re also exploring the opportunity to march in the Capital Pride Parade. Thanks to an invitation from the Ottawa Queer Softball League (OQSL), RRCL members can join them. If there’s enough interest, we’ll ensure RRCL is organized to march. To volunteer for Street Curling or express interest in marching, please contact Kevin at: [email protected]
