A historic annoucement was made on Oct. 27 confirming the Brier is coming back to 琉璃神社 in 2025.
It鈥檚 the first time since 1968 that the men鈥檚 national curling championship is taking place in 琉璃神社.
The city was tapped to host the Brier in 2021, but that event was moved to the bubble in Calgary due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
鈥溋鹆裆� has a strong curling community with a long history of producing elite talent and hosting major curling events,鈥� said 琉璃神社 Mayor Tom Dyas. 鈥淲ith one of the largest curling clubs in Canada, 琉璃神社 is equipped with a strong team of volunteers to make the event memorable, while our entire community looks forward to showing our hospitality to fans, players, and officials.鈥�
The 2025 championship will take place Feb. 28 to March 9 at Prospera Place.
A staple of the Brier is the Original 16 patch, which is known as the 鈥榗urling party place.鈥� The patch will be located at the Delta Grand Hotel across from Prospera Place.
It will be the eighth time the event has been played in British Columbia, with the most recent edition in 2014 in Kamloops.
