Our roots
Over sixty years ago, in 1961, the Royal Glenora Club first opened its doors after three of Edmonton’s esteemed sports clubs: the Glenora Skating and Tennis Club, the Braemar Badminton Club, and the Royal Curling Club, ambitiously merged. This alliance would become one of Edmonton’s most sought-after private clubs, recognized for its outstanding athletics and meaningful community connections.
