Fort Rouge Curling Club
The Fort Rouge Curling Club is a curling club located in the Fort Rouge district of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Known as “The Home of Friendly Curling,” the club has hosted many successful teams on both the provincial and national level.

In 1919, the first Fort Rouge Curling Club rink was built at the corner of Kylemore Avenue and Osborne Street. This building would later be demolished, and a new facility was built in 1959, a few blocks away on Daly Street in the Lord Roberts neighbourhood where it stands today. The Home of Friendly Curling's clubhouse has been recognized as a historical site by the Manitoba Historical Society.
