History

The club was founded in 1954 as the Imperial Curling Club, with three natural ice sheets, with a focus on access for students at Imperial School. In 1958, the club switched to artificial ice. In 1970, the club renamed itself the Highland Curling Club to avoid confusion with the town of Imperial. [1] In 1974, the club sold its rink to the Kronau Curling Club in nearby Kronau; the Kronau club dismantled and hauled the rink from Regina and rebuilt it, opening it by 1976. [2] The Highland Club build a new six-sheet facility that opened in 1975. [1]

Provincial champions

The Highland has produced a number of provincial men's and women's champions in recent years. The Jolene Campbell rink was the first to win a provincial title, securing the 2016 Saskatchewan Tournament of Hearts to represent the province at the national Tournament of Hearts. [3] The following year, Adam Casey's team won the first provincial men's title for the club, defeating three-time defending champion Steve Laycock in the final. [4] In 2020, Matt Dunstone's rink advanced to the Tim Horton's Brier, where they amassed an 8–5 record en route to a third-place finish. [5] Most recently, Kelly Knapp's rink won the 2023 Tankard—Knapp went on to win the Ross Harstone Sportsmanship award, voted on by the players, at the 2023 Tim Hortons Brier. [6] Teams from the Highland also represented the province at the 2014 and 2015 Canadian Club Championships.
