DESCRIPTION

The Truro Curling Club has installed a solar energy system that now generates renewable electricity to operate the facility, including the energy-intensive process of making and maintaining ice. As a community hub committed to affordability and inclusion, the Club undertook this upgrade to reduce operating costs, lower emissions, and strengthen the long-term sustainability of a valued recreational space. By transitioning to solar power, the Club has improved its environmental performance while supporting continued access to curling and community programming.
