February 25 – March 1, 2026
Curling is one of many sports included in the BC Winter Games to provide our U16 youth athletes with an opportunity to experience multi-sport competition.
Curl BC will support the development of athletes and coaches leading up to and during the event. All athletes, team coach(es), adult supervisors (if applicable), are required to stay in BC Winter Games accommodation for the entirety of the Trail-Rossland 2026 BC Winter Games
BC Winter Games Information
Player Eligibility
Please carefully read the rules for player eligibility for the BC Winter Games to ensure the athlete is eligible to play.
Age
Minimum age is 13 as of June 30, 2025 and 15 years of age or under as of June 30, 2025. Teams may have one underage player on a team (must be 11 as of June 30, 2025). If a zone requires more than one underage players to fill a team, then written approval from the Provincial Advisor is required.
Age eligible athletes beyond this 2026 BC Winter Games cycle will be eligible to play in only one BC Winter Games for curling. Underage athletes approved to play in the 2026 BC Winter Games will be exempt of this new rule and will still be eligible for the 2028 BC Winter Games.

Past Podiuming
Athletes who qualified for a U18 and/or a U20 Curling Provincial Championship in a previous season, and reached the podium, are ineligible to attend the BC Winter Games.
