Rainbow Rockers Curling League

Ottawa's Gay and Lesbian Friendly Curling League

Growing the Game with OVCA’s “Curling is for Everyone” Grant

We’re incredibly grateful to the Ottawa Valley Curling Association (OVCA) for their generous support of the RRCL through the Curling is for Everyone grant. This initiative is a powerful step toward making curling more accessible and welcoming for underrepresented communities—including differently-abled, 2SLGBTQIA+, and BIPOC curlers.

Thanks to OVCA’s commitment to inclusivity, we’re able to continue building a league where everyone feels they belong on the ice. 🥌💙

Final Registration Reminder & Exciting Summer Events!

🌟 MEMBER REGISTRATION DEADLINE: MAY 16! 🌟

We hope your spring is going well and you don’t have the post-curling blues too bad!

If you’re a returning member who intends to curl next season, this is your FINAL REMINDER to complete your registration and pay your deposit by May 16, 2025—if you haven’t done so already. Each curler must submit their own registration.

⚠️ After May 16, we’ll begin accepting new member registrations, and we can’t guarantee spots for returning members.

When registering, you’ll be prompted to indicate whether you’re signing up as part of a team or as an individual looking for a team. If you’re hoping to add a new member who isn’t currently a regular or spare in the league, please let us know in the comment section of your registration! However, they’ll need to wait until July 1 to register, as priority goes to placing returning members first.

📝 To complete your registration, follow these two steps:

  1. Fill out the online registration form.
  2. Pay your $50 registration deposit via e-transfer to: treasurer@rainbowrockers.ca

Questions? Reach out to our Membership Coordinator, Mike McGuire, at membership@rainbowrockers.ca.
