The Canadian curling landscape is set for a monumental celebration as Saskatoon secures the hosting rights for the historic 100th Montana's Brier in 2027. This landmark event promises to transform the Saskatchewan city into the nation's curling capital for what organizers are calling "the biggest birthday party in Canadian curling history."
A Century of Curling Excellence
The 2027 championship represents more than just another tournament—it marks a century of Canada's most prestigious men's curling competition. Since its inception, the Brier has grown from a modest national championship into a cultural phenomenon that captures the attention of millions of Canadians each year.
Katherine Henderson, CEO of Curling Canada, expressed excitement about the milestone, stating that Saskatoon's winning bid demonstrates the city's proven capability to host world-class curling events and its passionate support for the sport.
Economic Impact and Community Excitement
The 2027 Brier is expected to generate significant economic benefits for Saskatoon and the broader Saskatchewan region. Previous championships have drawn thousands of visitors, filled hotels, and boosted local businesses, with the centennial edition projected to break attendance records.
Saskatoon previously hosted successful Briers in 2000, 2004, and 2012, building a reputation as a premier curling destination. The city's modern facilities and enthusiastic curling community make it an ideal location for this historic celebration.
