Perhaps the City could raze the club to the ground, and build a larger affordable housing complex. I am sure curlers have plenty of other options. After all, it's a dying sport:

If it truly is a dying sport, then perhaps they should refocus their efforts on actually getting people to curl, rather spend time and space on things where it would actually benefit literally everybody around them, maybe even themselves.
Rather than blocking this whole development, they should encourage this to actually happen. When this does get built, there may be kids who might be curious about the sport living in this new residential complex who may want to try out curling. This is what's most likely what they're afraid off, because they for some reason can't figure out a way to reach out to the next generation of potential curlers, whether it's at a grassroots level, or a club level, or any level at all.
It seems that the club needs new leadership, and the way how they are now and their attitude towards this proposed development is not doing themselves any favours.
