Calgary to host Scotties Tournament of Hearts in 2024. More;
CALGARY — The last time the Scotties Tournament of Hearts took place in Calgary, the curlers could hear toilets flushing as they swept their rocks down the ice due to the lack of spectators.
“We are thrilled to bring the Scotties back to Calgary and put on a proper show with fans,” said Katherine Henderson, chief executive officer of Curling Canada. At the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Team Brad Gushue won the only curling medal for Canada with a bronze in the men’s event. John Morris and Rachel Homan missed the playoffs in mixed doubles. as did Team Jennifer Jones in the women’s competition.
“Curling is played at a much higher level all over the world now compared to when I played,” said Shannon Kleibriink, who won Olympic bronze with Nixon at the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy. “It’s not even close.” “Many of the small businesses that make up the visitor economy were the hardest hit during the pandemic,” said Carson Ackroyd, senior vice-president of sales for Tourism Calgary. “There’s a long way to go to support many of these businesses getting back on their feet."
