Some of the funds may be used to offset operating or fixed costs related to the capital projects plan.

How this project will assist in promoting or developing amateur sport on a national level.

The Oakville Curling Club is one of the busiest and most well-known curling clubs in Ontario.

Aside from it's nearly 1000-strong membership who play 7 days per week from October to April, the club is also home to the Oakville Summer League, a vibrant summer curling program that includes youth camps, a series of high performance competitions, and amateur and recreational curling leagues for participants from across Southern Ontario. The club also plays host to a variety of in-house events during the winter that are open to members and guests, including the World Lefthanders Championship and the Kurl4Kids Charity Bonspiel in support of the Oakville Hospital Foundation and the Sandra Schmirler Foundation.

The Oakville Curling Club also hosts a Special Olympics program for youth and adults with learning and physical disabilities, weekly high school physical education classes and athletics programs, and a large 'Learn-to-Curl' program to introduce neighbours and members of the community to the sport.

These enhancements will improve the quality of the playing surface we are able to provide, improve the experience of both members and guests, and further the OCC's mission of promoting amateur curling in the GTA.​

Projected amount of money to be raised: $500,000​​​​​​
