Expanded Junior Championships

Curling Canada’s Helen Radford made the announcement last week that they will give more young curlers the opportunity to compete for a national championship!

With the additional teams, which will begin at the 2021 New Holland Canadian Junior Championships, a slight change in dates will begin as the championship will move to March (previously held in January).

As a result of this, the Canadian Champions of that year will not represent Canada until the following year at the World Junior Curling Championships.
