The Selkirk Curling Club is hosting its Annual Ladies Bonspiel from January 16 to January 18, 2026. The club’s event listing shows the bonspiel at the Selkirk Curling Club (381 Jemima St., Selkirk, Manitoba) and describes a 3-game guarantee, cash prizes for every win and a Saturday night dinner and dance.
Event listings on the club website show a full registration fee of $260 per team. The Research Dossier records a reported early-bird deadline of December 15, 2025 ($260) with a standard fee of $280 after that date, but the club’s public event page does not display a Dec. 15 cutoff or the $280 rate.
The bonspiel occurs amid an ice-time crunch in Selkirk. The city permanently closed the older Selkirk Arena (locally known as “The Barn”) in late 2023, citing a drop in demand for ice time and a long list of needed repairs; as a result, the Selkirk Recreation Complex has become the city’s primary remaining major ice surface. The consolidation of ice surfaces has heightened scheduling pressure for hockey, figure skating and curling groups.
The bonspiel also falls shortly before a much larger event: the provincial men’s curling championship is scheduled for Selkirk in late January/early February 2026. Sources vary on exact dates — the City of Selkirk’s program calendar shows facility closure for the Manitoba Men’s Provincial Curling Championship from Jan. 26–Feb. 9, 2026, while the Selkirk Curling Club lists the Bunge Provincial Men’s Championships (Rec Center) Feb. 1–8, 2026; CurlManitoba has also confirmed the championship will return to the Selkirk Recreation Complex.
