Story

The Tartan Curling Club came into existence in 1948 as "The Civil Service Curling Club". This was changed in 1950 to"The Saskatchewan Civil Service and Community Co-operative Curling Association Limited". It's home was eight sheets of natural ice at the Regina Exhibition Grounds. Membership was restricted to Saskatchewan Civil Servants.

After a lengthy fund raising campaign a new rink was opened at the present Broadway Avenue location in October 1958. The Club featured 10 sheets of artificial ice.

In 1965 the Saskatchewan Civil Service and Community Co-operative Curling Association Ltd. changed it's name to Tartan Curling Club Co-operative, an hence the Tartan Curling Club. This allowed members to be other than Civil Servants. The Civil Service Ladies Curling Club renamed its self the Tam O' Shanter Club and remained part of the Tartan Curling Club.

In 2003 when the Wheat City Curling Club closed, its members amalgamated with the Tartan. This swelled the membership by 40 regular and 80 senior curlers. Today the Tartan has 400 curlers in the regular and mixed leagues and 300 in the daytime leagues, not including the commercial leagues that also curl out of the Tartan Club.

This season, open Evening Leagues will include Men's, Women's, Junior and Mixed teams on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and a Mixed League on Friday and Sunday. A number of Commercial League also call the Tartan Curling Club home. Weekend activities feature Curl for Kids and The Youth League with instruction and compitition for young curlers.

The Club is open year around with the facilities rented out for major and minor events over the summer.
