Montana’s Canadian Curling Trials

In November 2025, Halifax welcomed Canada’s top curling teams to Scotiabank Centre for the Montana’s Canadian Curling Trials. With a place at the 2026 Winter Olympics on the line, the event brought some of the country’s best athletes together for an exciting week of competition, drawing curling fans and visitors to the city.

As one of the most significant events on the Canadian curling calendar, the Trials offered fans the opportunity to experience the sport at its highest level. The championship also brought national attention to Halifax, supported local businesses and hotels, and gave the community another opportunity to be part of a major Canadian sporting event.

Beyond the competition, the event reflected the enthusiasm Halifax has for curling and the people who make events like this possible. With nearly 500 volunteers contributing their time and energy, the championship was a true community effort.

Host Committee

The 2025 Montana’s Canadian Curling Trials Host Committee played a central role in bringing the championship to life. Bringing together Curling Canada, Events East, Discover Halifax, the Province of Nova Scotia, Halifax Regional Municipality, the Nova Scotia Curling Association, and nearly 500 volunteers, the committee combined local knowledge and event expertise to support a successful championship.

Planning and delivering an event of this scale takes considerable coordination, particularly when welcoming athletes, officials, fans, and media from across the country. The committee worked closely together throughout the process, responding to challenges, supporting event operations, and ensuring visitors experienced the hospitality Halifax is known for.

Their collaborative approach and shared commitment helped deliver a memorable event while creating meaningful benefits for the local community and economy. The championship was another example of what can happen when local organizations, event partners, and volunteers come together with a common goal.
