December 15, 2025

Ontario’s investment supports community infrastructure and strengthens local recreation

Norwood, ON – On Friday, David Piccini, MPP for Northumberland-Peterborough
South, joined the Executive and members of the Norwood Curling Club in recognizing
the impact of a $166,200 capital grant through the Ontario government’s Ontario Trillium
Foundation (OTF). The year long grant supported major infrastructure upgrades that
were completed this summer, including the replacement of the roof over the club’s
curling ice.
“Our government is proud to invest in the spaces that bring communities together,
support local volunteers, and strengthen recreation across rural Ontario, said David
Piccini, MPP for Northumberland-Peterborough South. “The Norwood Curling Club is a
cornerstone of this community, and this investment ensures it remains strong for
generations to come.”
The $166,200 OTF grant, awarded in early summer, enabled the Club to replace the
original roof on its century old facility. The building that houses the ice surface is a key
venue for the annual Norwood Fair and is used year-round for a variety of community
events, weddings, and gatherings.
“This Ontario Trillium Foundation grant allowed the Club to replace the roof and thereby
significantly extend the life of this vital community building and ensure that it remains
available for years to come,” said Jason Ferguson, President of the Norwood Curling
Club. “The building is completely accessible and is available for rentals to all community
groups for meetings, weddings and other social gatherings.”
The Norwood Curling Club is run by volunteers and is an all-inclusive club open to
everyone, offering multiple recreational, educational and competitive curling and
pickleball leagues. Additional information is available on their website at:
