Gatineau River DIY bonspiel

Cascades man curls on natural ice

Doug Taylor took his curling career into his own hands.

Last year he built his own curling stones and this month he created his own curling sheet on Gatineau River near his Chelsea home.

“There’s rinks all up and down the Gatineau River as you know, this is the only one I’ve seen with a curling sheet,” Taylor told the Low Down.

Doug Taylor loves the Gatineau River and curling. He combined his two passions this year by making a curling sheet on the river near his Cascades home that has been drawing attention from neighbours and local media. Hunter Cresswell photo
