The Granite Curling Club, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, is the oldest curling club in Western Canada.

Its current downtown location and Tudor-framed clubhouse was built in 1913, the building is a Winnipeg Heritage Building.[1][2] It is often considered to be the "St. Andrews" of curling because of its contribution to the sport in curling's most dominant region.
