In order to match up with the age bracket for Junior curling, the eligibility age for 2019 Canada Winter Games curling has been changed from “born on or after January 1, 2001” to “born on or after July 1, 2000”. This opens up another six months of eligibility. Competitors will be a maximum of 17 years of age on June 30, 2018.
The 2019 Canada Winter Games will take place from February 15 until March 3, 2019 in Red Deer, Alberta and will be the largest event ever hosted there and the largest multi-sport and cultural event to be hosted in Alberta in over 30 years – since the 1988 Olympics in Calgary.
Both men’s and women’s curling will take place at the 12 sheet Pidherny Curling Centre, during week 2 (February 23 to March 3).
