The City of Cranbrook has been named the host community for both the 2020 BC Men’s and BC Women’s curling championships.

The two events will be held concurrently at Western Financial Place from January 28 to February 2, 2020.

The events will feature the top eight women’s teams in B.C. as part of the 2020 Scotties BC Women’s Curling Championship, and the top 16 men’s teams in BC as part of the 2020 BC Men’s Curling Championship. 

“We are very pleased that Curl BC has chosen us to host the 2020 Championships,” said Lee Pratt, Mayor of the City of Cranbrook.

“This gives us a great opportunity to showcase our community and surrounding area to all of the participants. The broadcast exposure also helps the audience see the many different amenities this area has to offer.  We are looking forward to this event and promise a good time for all,'' he added. 

The winning men’s team will go on to compete at the 2020 Tim Hortons Brier. The winning women’s team will compete at the national Scotties Tournament of Hearts. 

The full rosters will be set in January 2020.

Tckets will go on sale in fall 2019. For more information about men’s and women’s curling in BC visit www.curlbc.ca.
