Red Deer, Alta., wins bid to host the 2028 Brier men’s national curling championship

Central Alberta curling fans have a big event to celebrate in 2028. 

The Brier is set to return to Red Deer, Alta., for the first time in more than three decades.

In Red Deer Monday, Curling Canada announced that the 2028 Montana’s Brier will be held at the Marchant Crane Centrium in Westerner Park from Feb. 25 to March 5, 2028.

The last time the city hosted the Canadian national men's curling championship was more than 30 years ago in 1994.

Saskatoon will host the Brier in 2027, when the curling championship will celebrate its 100th year.

The winning team at the Brier goes on to represent Canada at the World Men's Curling Championship. 

More to come.
