Synopsis

Although often described as distinctly Canadian, primarily for the enlightenment of curlers as well as scholars studying the social evolution of Canada, curling transcends its historical roots in Canada, extending back further than the formal establishment of the nation-state. Canada's prolonged interaction with this pastime has, quite predictably, led to a national association with its progression and innovation.

The narrative and historical journey of curling in and around Cornwall traces its origins back to the era when the area was first settled by Loyalists, and continues through to the sport's temporary decline in 1908.
