It’s an exciting time for curling in BC with the 2025 Montana’s Brier being held at Kelowna’s Prospera Place this week! A big thank you to the Organizing Committee, volunteers and staff from Kelowna Curling Club and surrounding curling clubs for all their work with Curling Canada, the City of Kelowna and Tourism Kelowna to make this a fantastic event for all involved. And even if you won’t be attending, you can still support the Okanagan curling community by purchasing 50/50 tickets available daily at the following link: curlbc.ca/2025-brier-50-50/.

Speaking of 50/50s, this season’s sales for Curl BC’s monthly draws have already passed $175,000 with $65,000 raised for Curl BC member facilities (Click here to read the current tally of funds raised for each member facility).
