Kingston to host 2027 Canadian Senior Curling Championships

It will take place at the Royal Kingston Curling Club.

The 2027 Ontario Senior Curling Championships are coming to the Limestone City.

The Royal Kingston Curling Club will be the site of the championship happening Dec 4-11, 2027. It will mark the first time the club will be hosting the championship.

The City had previously hosted the Brier in 2020, the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the 2017 Canadian Curling Club Championships. Next month, Kingston will host the Grand Slam of Curling Player's Cup at Slush Puppie Place.

Past President of the curling club Keith Mitchell says having the senior championship in Kingston is wonderful news.

The curling club partnered with Tourism Kingston in putting together a proposal to host the 2027 Canadian championships.

Mitchell says it was then a matter of waiting to find out if their bid was successful.

Now that they have secured the event, the next step is to plan for the festivities.

Mitchell says the organizing committee will go to this year's event in Saskatoon to observe how that is executed.

He says this is something that the entire community can get behind.

The 2027 championships will go Dec 4-11 featuring 28 teams (14 men’s and 14 women’s) from around the country competing for the right to represent Canada at the 2027 World Senior Curling Championships.
