Lethbridge to host the national men’s curling championship in 2022

Jan 8, 2021 | 12:01 PM

The Tim Hortons Brier will be held at the Enmax Centre in Lethbridge in 2022.

Curling Canada made the announcement Friday during a video conference call.

Lethbridge hosted the world men’s championship in 2019 and the world women’s championship in 2012. The Alberta city also hosted the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 1987 and 2007.

The 93rd edition of the Canadian men’s curling championship will be played March 4-13, 2022.

Thunder Bay, Ont., was previously announced as the host city for the 2022 Scotties. The Fort Williams Gardens was originally scheduled to host the women’s playdowns this season but plans were changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
