The Canadian men's curling championship will be held March 8-16, 2008
at the new MTS Centre, a 15,000 seat multi-purpose facility, and will
mark the fifth time that the city has hosted the event, joining
Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Halifax and Toronto as the only other
cities to have staged the prestigious championship at least five times,
since it began in 1927.
"On behalf of the CCA, we are very pleased that the 2008 Tim Hortons
Brier has been awarded to Winnipeg," said Georgina Anderson, a member
of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Curling Association and a
past president of the Manitoba Curling Association. "Winnipeg has
hosted some of the most successful curling events in the past, and
that, combined with a dedicated Host Committee surrounded by a wealth
of experienced and knowledgeable volunteers and fans, will help ensure
that this Brier will be just as successful."
The last Brier to be held in the city was in 1998, when it was played
at the Winnipeg Arena and won by Ontario's Wayne Middaugh. Other years
as host were in 1940, 1952 and 1970. In each of those years, it was won
by a team from Winnipeg. The city also staged the 2003 Ford Worlds at
the Arena.
