Jan 8, 2021 | 12:03 PM

LETHBRIDGE, AB- Lethbridge’s Enmax Centre will play host to one of Canada’s largest curling events in 2022.

After a successful $1 million bid from Lethbridge City Council in July of 2020, Curling Canada thought Lethbridge was the right suitor for the Tim Hortons Brier.

“We’ve seen in the past what the great people in the City of Lethbridge can do when presented with the opportunity to host Season of Champions events, so to say that we’re excited to be heading back is an understatement,” said Mitch Minken, Chair of Curling Canada’s Board of Governors.

“A first-class city, a first-class facility and first-class curling fans and volunteers make for a first-class championship, and this is truly something that we can all look forward to,” Minken adds.

Recently, the Enmax Centre hosted the 2019 World Men’s Curling Championship, with Sweden’s Niklas Edin prevailing in the final over Canada’s Kevin Koe.

“As the host of the 2022 Tim Hortons Brier, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome curling fans from across the country to Lethbridge for one of the biggest sporting events in our nation,” said Lethbridge Mayor Chris Spearman.

“As we all look forward to the time when we can all come together again, this event will be a bright light for residents and visitors alike. It will bring a strong boost to our local economy and showcase our beautiful city to the rest of Canada.”

Ticket plans for the tournament will be announced later this year.
