The Rideau Curling Club maintains a rivalry with the Ottawa Curling Club.
[edit] Locations
The club was moved from their Waller St. home in 1916, when their land was requisitioned for war purposes. Their second home (1916-1930) was approximately the present site of the Supreme Court of Canada. From 1931 until 1949 the club was located at 277 Laurier Ave West, and the club reached their present home, at Cooper & Percy St in July 1949.
