coming Together
The merging of Curling Beauséjour with Wedgewood Hall in 2009 increased revenue and elevated the image and ability to compete in the catering business. As volume increased, Curling Beauséjour was faced with having to satisfy the demands of new curlers and catering opportunities, necessitating the need to begin partnership discussions with the Beaver Curling Club.
During this same period, the Moncton business scene changed with the influx of significantly more national and regional businesses. This impacted the membership profile of the Beaver Club. Many company owners and influential senior officers that once were the backbone of the Beaver Club were replaced by professionals and office workers. Although these new members offered valuable services and volunteer time, they had more limited access to corporate resources to assist the club in its various initiatives.
Talks commenced several years ago with fellow Moncton curling officials to look at ways to streamline operations and generate efficiencies that would better meet the current marketplace.
The dialogue between the Beauséjour and the Beaver, both having specific needs that could be met through a partnership, led to the creation of Curl Moncton Inc.
