The Highlander Curling Club expresses its sincere thanks to the Municipality of the County of Antigonish for their funding support through their Community Partnership Capital Grant. With the help of this grant, the Highlander Curling Club was able ensure a critical repair of their aging dehumidifier. The repair has decreased the humidity within the ice shed and has reduced the risk of falls from ice freezing on the side boards.

Pictured are Past President of the Highlander Curling Club Len MacDonald, Current President of the Highlander Curling Club Lorne Deering, Board Member Harry Daemen and Warden Owen McCarron.  These individuals, and others, were instrumental in making this project happen. Many thanks to all involved in this successful project!!
