The Curl PEI Provincial Mixed Doubles Curling Championship takes place December 2-4, 2016 at the Maple Leaf Curling Club in O’Leary. This two-person per team version of curling is now an Olympic sport, beginning with the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. All entries must be made online at PEICurling.com. Entry fee is $90 per two-person mixed team. There are no age restrictions on this event. Entry deadline is Nov. 11 2016.
Defending provincial champions are the team of Kyle Holland and Sabrina Smith.

Winners advance to the 2017 Canadian Mixed Doubles Championship at the Nutana Curling Club in Saskatoon SK from April 5-9.
Unlike a number of other events, attendance for the provincial winners at the national Mixed Doubles competition is not completely paid for by Curling Canada. Curl PEI will be supporting the winning team attending the National Mixed Doubles by paying their $400 registration fee and possibly reimbursing some travel expenses.
