Curling began in Vancouver in 1912 when Lester and Frank Patrick built the Denman Arena. This facility was affectionately known as "the Pile", bringing hockey to Vancouver as well as curling.

The Vancouver Curling Club occupied the basement of the Denman Arena. Curling stopped during the First World War and did not recommence until 1931 at the newly built Forum on the current PNE grounds with 10 sheets of curling ice.

In 1936, BC participated in the Brier for the first time ever, and a Vancouver team represented the province after winning in Nelson. That same year, the Denman Arena burned down...and hockey took over the Forum, forcing curling to only one sheet of ice at the end of the Forum... and it was 12 feet short of regulation length.

The need for more space and the desire of keen competitors brought new funds for a new facility at 18th & Heather in 1938. Plans were scrapped after the sod turning with the start of World War II. After the war, J.W. Cornett, our Honourary Life President, spearheaded the fundraising, design and construction of our present five-sheet facility which opened October 7, 1949.

The Lyall Dagg Rink won the MacDonald Brier and World Championship in 1964 with the following line-up: skip Lyall Dagg, third Leo Hebert, second Fred Britton and lead Barry Naimark.

The most recent Provincial title - the club's 44th Purple Heart - was won last season by Team Mallett. Skip Marla Mallett, third Grace MacInnes, second Diane Gushulak, lead Jacalyn Brown, alternate Adina Tasaka and coach Ken MacDonald captured the the 2009 Scotties Tournament of Hearts BC Women’s Curling Championship. They then followed that win with a silver medal at the 2009 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

In total, the VCC has been home to 24 provincial Men's champions, 5 Women's champions, 4 Mixed champions, 5 Senior Men's champions, 1 Junior Men's and 1 Junior Women's champion.
