Regina to host 2018 Tim Hortons Brier

It may have been the worst kept secret in Regina, but its official. 

The Queen City will host the 2018 Tim Hortons Brier. The Canadian men’s curling event will be held at the Brandt Centre from March 3 – 11.

“Curling’s roots go deep in the province of Saskatchewan, and based on past history, I have no doubt that the city of Regina will embrace the 2018 Tim Hortons Brier,” said Peter Inch, Chair of the Curling Canada Board of Governors in a news release. “The Tim Hortons Brier is the world’s most famous curling championship, and Regina is in for a memorable nine days of thrilling action, on and off the ice.”

The Brier is no stranger to Regina. This will be the fifth time the event has come to the city. It was first held here in 1955, then again in 1976. The Brandt Centre was also home to the Brier in 1992 and 2006.
