Abstract
The author's Master's thesis is an examination of the influences which the Montreal Curling Club had on the development of curling in Lower and Upper Canada between 1807 and 1857. The author's thesis includes a sociological analysis of the Montreal Curling Club members with regards to occupation, ethnicity and residential location during the period under review. The Montreal Curling Club, the first formally constituted sporting and curling club in North America, was initiated by the wealthy Scottish merchants and fur traders of the Montreal-based Northwest Company.
