In the mid-1950’s, Roy Farran, then Editor of the North Hill News, realized there wasn’t a high quality sports facility in the Northern part of the city to accommodate the individuals who wanted to curl, bowl and socialize. Together with a group of ambitious individuals and families, the North Hill land plot was purchased in 1957 and the Club sold memberships for $500 each with an ambitious goal of securing 1200 memberships before starting construction on a $600,000 structure. The sod on the new facility was officially turned on April 18, 1959, by Alberta Minister Fred Colborne. In the spring of 1960, construction progressed, and the Club had signed 1200 shareholders, with 17 families on a waiting list.

The doors to the Club officially opened on December 9, 1960. The original facility included a dining room, swimming pool, five-pin bowling alley, skating rink, badminton courts, outdoor tennis and a curling rink. Today, the Club offers all of these original activities and much, much more. The Calgary Winter Club is now considered to be one of the top private Sport and Social Clubs in North America.
