Victoria Curling Club Seeks Grant for New Ice-Making Plant and Accessibility Upgrades
Victoria Curling Club (VCC) aims to secure a one-time grant of $175,000 to replace its outdated ammonia-style ice plant. This funding is crucial to prevent disruptions in community programming and ensure safety, as the current system poses significant risks and operational failures.
Councillors Matt Dell and Krista Loughton are proposing a $175,000 grant from the city's 2026 contingency budget to aid the Victoria Curling Club in replacing its aging ammonia-style ice-making plant, which is unsafe and unreliable. The total cost of the new plant is estimated at $650,000, supplemented by $200,000 for design and upgrades, with a fundraising goal of $850,000.
