The 2026 Manitoba 55+ Games curling tournament is concluding today, March 19, 2026, after three days of matches at the Winkler Curling Club in Winkler, Manitoba. Organized by Active Aging in Manitoba, the event brought together senior athletes from across the province to take part in competitions that promote active lifestyles for people aged 55 and older.

The gathering was specifically branded as the Morden, Stanley and Winkler 55+ Games for the curling tournament. These games move to different host sites each year to help build community spirit and support local athletic facilities.

The competition began on March 17 and offered a specialized tournament focused on fostering health and social connections among seniors. By using the Winkler Curling Club as the main host venue, the games allowed local residents to watch competitive matches while supporting provincial sports.

These games prioritize inclusive participation and help Manitobans stay physically healthy into their senior years. The tournament is a long-standing provincial initiative that highlights the importance of social connection and active aging through competitive sport.
