The 2016 Maritime Masters Curling Championships, with men’s and women’s divisions for curlers age 60 and over, will be held at Thistle-St. Andrews Curling Club in Saint John NB, from March 11 to 13, 2016.

Meanwhile, the Wolfville Curling Center and Glooscap Curling Club have been chosen to be the co-hosts of the 2016 men’s and women’s Canadian Masters Curling Championships, which take place April 4 to 10, 2016. The Canadian Masters Curling Committee expects that all provinces and territories will be in attendance, with the exception of Nunavut.

The men’s and women’s winners and runners-up from the PEI Masters championships will earn the right to compete in the Maritime Masters Championships. The winning teams, or the highest-finishing men’s and women’s rinks that choose to attend, are also invited to participate in the Canadian Masters.

The PEI Masters champs will be determined January 22-26 at the Crapaud Curling Club. Defending provincial champs are the Mel Bernard rink from the Silver Fox Curling and Yacht Club in Summerside, and the Shirley Berry foursome from the Cornwall and Charlottetown clubs.
