Canada’s future curling stars will gather in Rouyn-Noranda, Que., for the 2023 New Holland Canadian Junior Men’s and Women’s Curling Championships, it was announced today by Curling Canada.
The event, which determines Canada’s Under-21 championship teams, will be played March 25-April 2 at Aréna Glencore du Centre Dave-Keon and the Club de Curling Noranda.
“It’s been too long since we’ve been in that part of Quebec, and we couldn’t be happier to bring such a prestigious event to Rouyn-Noranda,” said Katherine Henderson, Chief Executive Officer of Curling Canada. “The bid the local organizing committee submitted was outstanding, and I know the competing athletes, their coaches and families will be treated to some wonderful hospitality in just over a year from now.”
It will be the fourth time a Curling Canada championship has been contested in Rouyn-Noranda, and first since 1986 when B.C.’s Jodie Sutton — with her sister, and 2002 Olympic bronze-medallist Julie Sutton at vice-skip — claimed the Canadian junior women’s championship.
