The Gimli Curling Club in Gimli, Manitoba, is hosting its annual Men’s Bonspiel from March 6 to March 8, 2026. This weekend tournament will bring together local curlers for a series of competitive matches and a community celebration for national athletes.

The competition includes three separate events, and all participating teams are guaranteed a specific number of games. Along with the matches, the club is holding a live Calcutta auction, which is a traditional fundraising event where people bid on the teams playing in the tournament.

A major part of the weekend is a formal send-off for members of Team Canada. This ceremony gives local fans a chance to cheer on the elite curlers before they travel to represent the country in upcoming international competitions.
