Markham’s Unionville Curling Club has received a $74,100 capital grant from the provincial government’s Ontario Trillium Foundation to replace aging plumbing fixtures and upgrade its stormwater system.
The club has been in its current building since 1959 and the pipes leading to the municipal sewage lines had become corroded. The main sewer line, including all branch lines on the interior and exterior of the building, needed to be replaced.
