Did you know that:

  • One hundred years ago, the opening day of duck hunting was declared a holiday?
  • The first meeting to organize a curling club in Camrose was held on November 27, 1911 - and now one hundred years later - we are hosting the Alberta men's provinicial bonspiel - The 2012 Alberta Boston Pizza Curling Cup.  See details at www.2012bostonpizzacup.com
  • Speaking of curling -  in 1911, the first encolsed arena skating rink was built in Camrose, and on each side of the rink was one sheet of ice reserved for curling.
