Description

Product Description

Hurry, hard! Home-made curling stones like this one, donated to the museum by St. Alphonsus School in East Kildonan, were used by amateur curlers who couldn’t afford professional stones. “Jam pail” curling rocks were usually made from either jam or coffee cans with a piece of steel rebar serving as a handle. The cans would then be filled with concrete to weigh them down.

The Manitoba Museum is located on Treaty 1 land, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. These lands, occupied for thousands of years, are the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, and Nakota Nations. The Museum is committed to collaborating with all Indigenous peoples of this province including the Dakota, Anishininiwak, Dene, and Inuit.

We acknowledge the harms of the past, are committed to improving relationships in the spirit of reconciliation, and appreciate the opportunity to live and learn on these traditional lands in mutual respect.
