The club moved to its current location, opening its doors in 1954. The Granite Club later became the Parry Sound Curling Club. Ladies and Mixed curling were introduced along the way. Junior programs were introduced. 

Curling continues to flourish at the Curling Club on Johnson Street and is a vibrant part of the community, providing curling opportunities to people of all ages.
