Curling club in Jasper.

Curling is a sport in which players slide stones across a sheet of ice towards a target area. Two teams, each of four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished stones, also called "rocks", across the ice curling sheet towards the house, a circular target marked on the ice.

Each team has eight stones. The purpose is to accumulate the highest score for a game, points are scored for the stones resting closest to the centre of the house at the conclusion of each "end", which is completed when both teams have thrown all of their stones.
