The Heather Curling Club in St. Boniface was evacuated Monday afternoon after an ammonia leak in its basement.

The hazmat unit was on scene at the club at 120 Youville St.

Ammonia, a colourless gas with a very strong smell, is widely used as a refrigerant. Ammonia leaks can be very dangerous and pose serious health concerns.

Officials said no one was hurt.

There is no word yet on what caused the leak.
