Summer curling
Does anyone know if there are bonspiels around in the summer? If so where. Do any clubs in manitoba have ice during the summer months?

There are a fair number of summer bonspiels in BC...
http://www.curlbc.ca/competitions/b...piels-calendar/
And I think there are a couple more not on that list. I've been to the ones in the Okanagan over the years, they're a lot of fun. The Powell River one is pretty good too, but they didn't have the numbers to run it last year... and it's a bit of a pain to get there (2 ferry trips from Vancouver... it'll take you a full day's drive to get there). I've heard good things about the spiels on Vancouver Island too... and you can combine some good golfing to go with the curling...
There is the one in North Bay ON summer spiel in July (https://www.facebook.com/events/176825359106370/). I heard a lot of good things about that spiel last year.
There used to be a couple in Manitoba (Warren and Morden I think... I've never been, so I'm going by what I've heard). I'd check out the CurlManitoba website and see if they post any there.

I remember the summer spiel that used to go on in Gimli at the arena. It was a blast. You had to bring your own fog horn though. Some draws you could hardly see the end of the ice.
I believe that Bismarck, ND still has their golf and curling event during the summer, don't they?

There's actually a ton. Apparently theres a summer spiel every weekend somewhere in the US. I'm probably going to Seattle for one myself. As for Canada, BC has them in Parksville, Mill Bay, Powell River, and Osoyoos (I think there's more…). There is also one in Irma AB which is a blast. I've also heard there will be ice all summer in Vancouver as well as the Saville Centre starting in July.

Not Manitoba, but Four Seasons Curling Club in Blaine, MN is having our "Blazing Brooms" Summer Spiel June 12-15. Last year it was a 64 team spiel, this year we're shotting for 96 teams. A couple of you friends north of the border would be more than welcome! You can register here..... http://assn.la/Reg/?R=4:73943
Hope you are able to consider it! I don't like to brag, but we do have a very good ice maker and even in the summer, our ice is top notch. Cheers!

Seattle's spiel is in June (13-15th).
Lots more than you listed in BC (there's a good one in Kelowna over the Canada Day weekend), most are posted on the Curl BC website.
Piles in the US... a couple I've heard good things about is the Golden Gate Spiel (San Francisco Bay Area Curling Club - Memorial Day weekend in the US - May 23rd to 25th) and the Hollywood Spiel (Hollywood Curling Club - July 4-6th). There are lots of others all across the states if you search for them.
As far as summer ice... Vancouver isn't going to have summer ice (at least not the Vancouver CC... their ice goes out mid-May, back in early Sept). North Shore Winter Club (North Vancouver) has ice in until the end of May, but I haven't heard if they're going to keep it all summer this year (they did a couple of seasons ago, but not last year). And they are the last two clubs with ice in the Lower Mainland usually.
I wouldn't be surprised about the Saville Centre... they usually have the ice in late July.
Carleton Heights CC in Ottawa also has ice in late July/early August (or if not them, another club in the Ottawa area from what I've been told)... but they don't usually host summer spiels, just a summer curling league.
