Refund Policy
As a non-profit facility, the Elmira & District Curling Club (EDCC) relies on membership fees as its primary source of revenue to fund its operations year over year. Annual operating budgets are established based on projected registrations. Many of the club activities that go into making EDCC a successful entity are the result of volunteers who oversee the business operations of the club.
