Masters Curling In Canada - The Championships

Welcome to The Masters National Curling Championships of Canada !
This competition is for athletes who are 60 + and beyond !

Working to Keep this site working w the Active.com folks in August 2023

Like the Brier, Scotties ; Seniors and other Canadian Curling Championships, The Masters are hosted annually in the provinces across Canada.
Great efforts by the host locations are key in developing successful across Canada Masters Curling Championships ! Thanks

Masters Championships have been running since 1987, Masters 2020 and then 2021 Championships were temporarily on hold due to Covid Safety Considerations . In 2020 most Provincial Championships were played before the safety shutdown . The 2021 national play was/is set for Manitoba . ( Covid considerations and protocols are in consideration and may cause dates and locale changes.) Present locale was set for the Pembina CC 2021) 2022 Rotation index is for Mainitoba to host 2022 Masters of Canada and hopefully then revive to sequence fall to Quebec province 2023 ( Civid considerations TB a and TBC?) .

BREAKING NEWS 2022
After considerable consultation and deliberation, the Co-Chairs of the 2022 Canadian Masters Championship Host Committee and the Pembina Curling Club Board of Directors have unanimously agreed that the safest and best course of action is to cancel or postpone the 2022 Canadian Masters Championship scheduled for April 3 – 10, 2022. The inherent risk and ever changing level of clarity and confidence brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic has made this decision extremely difficult and it was not taken lightly.

Despite restrictions in many provinces being loosened, the safety of everyone – competitors, volunteers, staff and spectators – was at the forefront of considerations. Other considerations included the overall integrity of the event, Pembina Curling Club and Curl Manitoba as well as the quality of the competitive and social aspects that could be offered during the event not to mention the financial risk during these challenging times.

We are saddened that this decision had to be made and we know this is not the news anyone wanted to hear but we are committed to holding the next Canadian Masters Championship when we are able to confidently host a safe and successful event.

2021 and 2022 Host Committee Co-Chairs
Eleanor Cassels, Hilton Wood, & Rick Sproule

ABOUT THIS SITE. This site is currently running on a free trail basis with a status set up by the folks in the Team Pages organization.
This free trial is Great and perhaps may be indefinite and hopefully this site will not shut down or terminate soon .

Previously a group called EteamZ hosted this site for us/the Masters volunteers for free . The present, past and future support is appreciated by Masters Curling Volunteers’. Try team pages by Active to support your team or organization.

Eteamz apparently is finished as a business venture and is no more, and we thank TeamPages’ new business model and good offerings for hosting our Championships now ! The volunteers who have assisted past Masters Curling championship events in Canada all thank the former Eteamz group for the great support . (since about 2008 ) and appreciate the past web host considerations freely given. Best wishes for success are given to the Team Pages Group as they move forward with its super business programs. The information on this site is to give you the viewers a place clik-through to locate and recall some Masters Curling Championship data.

About Masters Curling Volunteerism. We Masters Curling volunteers have been assisting the 60+ plus curling demographic run National Championships for a while now. We have no cash budget, tangible assets or revenue streams. Our asset has consisted of sweat equity, communications , and wisdom sharing as we “give back” to assist our sport for the athletes who play “The Masters”. The current group of volunteers have finished their terms of service and have stepped back so others can move forward . We recommend and ask that any newbie volunteers consider Team Pages as a good place to start considerations for any web hosting solutions that may be needed.
