The Deer Lodge Curling Club located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, is a six-sheet curling club located in the west part of the city. The club was established in 1919 and moved to the current location in the 1950s.[1] In 2023, the Thistle Curling Club announced that they would be selling their location and merging their club with Deer Lodge Curling Club.[2] The two clubs would retain their history and identity but continue to operate out of the same facility beginning in the fall of 2023.[2] Barry Fry curled out of Deer Lodge Curling Club when he won the 1979 Macdonald Brier, going on to win bronze at the 1979 World Championships.[3]
