The Canadian women's curling championship, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, will be held in Mississauga, Ontario for the first time in 2026. The event will take place at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre Sportsplex, starting January 23rd. This marks a significant milestone for the tournament, which has its roots in a best-of-three showdown between two teams from Eastern and Western Canada in 1960.
MISSISSAUGA , Ont. — The roots of the Canadian women's curling championship were formed over six decades ago when two teams played an invitational best-of-three showdown at a club just east of Toronto .
"The Canadian women's curling championship has always been a staple of the Canadian sporting calendar, and we can't wait to see the energy and enthusiasm that Mississauga and the GTA will bring to the occasion," Curling Canada chief executive officer Nolan Thiessen said in a statement. The first Brier was played at Toronto's Granite Club in 1927. The Ontario capital hosted the first 13 editions of the event but it hasn't been back since the 1941 tournament.
Area politicians were joined by local, provincial and national curling officials for the formal announcement Tuesday at a lounge inside the sportsplex. "Having the Scotties Tournament of Hearts come to Mississauga is an incredible opportunity for our curling community," said Curling Ontario executive director Matt Allen.
