BC Curling Tours

The British Columbia Curling Tour (BCCT) provides a province-wide tour for junior, men’s, and women’s BC teams that will award direct entries to the BC championships. Events on the BCCT will be CTRS point eligible with the goal of attracting top BC and CTRS teams to compete. By providing more opportunities for teams to compete in BC against their peers, we will create an environment in which BC’s next generation of teams can accomplish their goals to ultimately become provincial, national and world champions. It is important that teams compete against their peers to gauge where they are among their competition, and identify gaps and what they need to improve to take that next step.

Visit the BC Curling Tours website for more information and to register.
