| | Tritown
(Haileybury) Shuffleboard Club Greetings from the
Tri-Town Senior Shuffleboard Association
Our shuffleboard courts are conveniently located at Rotary Farr Park in the
former town of Haileybury, now a part the City of Temiskaming Shores. In 1999
the afternoon curling club members, wanting a summer activity, formed an Executive
Committee and with the assistance of an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant, constructed
four shuffleboard courts.
Subsequently an additional Trillium grant allowed erection of sun shades and
in 2005 the Tri-Town Foundation provided a grant toward providing wind screening
around the courts. We are now protected from the hot summer sun and the cold
winds of spring and fall. We have a wheel chair accessible facility with scheduled
play on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
at 1:30 PM Members have key access and can play any time, at their choosing.
Please come and join us if you are in the North Eastern Ontario area.
For additional information please contact tritownshuffle@eastlink.ca
