Shuffleboard GROWS in Ontario!

Amateurs - almost 25% annual growth since 2008!

Congratulations everyone!

We want to mention any new shuffleboard clubs. In 2009 we had the Puce Shuffleboard Club, the Prince Edward County Shuffleboard Club (Picton), and Centre Wellington Shuffleboard Club (Fergus).

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.
