TCA Day Women’s Championships – No event in 2024
Unfortunately there is no event in 2024. The TCA would appreciate a curling facility, an individual or a group of individuals who would be interested in restarting this wonderful event for 2025. Please reach out to sean.holman@torontocurling.com if you are interested.
TCA Day Women’s Championships is a two-day event that brings together club curlers from across the GTA and beyond. While this event attracts some very talented curlers, it is intended as a fun spiel with club teams in mind. It offers newer members a great opportunity to visit other clubs.
History
The Toronto & District Ladies’ Curling Championship began in 1959 largely due to the initiative of members of Unionville Curling Club. It was a 5-day event held at numerous clubs across Toronto, with a single club serving as host on Championship Day. It was sponsored by O’Keefe Brewing Company from 1959-61. From 1962-75 it was lovingly cared for by volunteer club representatives. In 1976 North American Life Assurance Company became a valued patron for 13 years. The year 1989 was self-managed with the TCA’s help. Gay Lea Foods was the sponsor from 1990-2001. In 2002, the Toronto Curling Association in partnership with Johnson Controls was pleased to bring the Energizer Curling Series to this event. In 2007, Revera Retirement Residences took over as main sponsor until 2009. In 2011, the committee was pleased to welcome DelManor Seniors Community as the sponsor.
2019 was the 60th Diamond Anniversary of the running of this Day Ladies event. The Host club for the event this year was Unionville Curling Club which was quite fitting in light of Unionville members being largely responsible for initiating this event in 1959.
