Curl BC is delighted to announce that we are returning to Esquimalt’s Archie Browning Sport Centre Arena to host the 2026 BC Men’s & Women’s Curling Championships, presented by Best Western, from December 29 to January 4. The Archie Browning Centre was also the host site for these Championships in 2024.

Even better, the 2026 BC U20 Championships will be held at the same time in the same venue at the Esquimalt Curling Club with the playoffs held on arena ice. A big thank you to Esquimalt Curling Club, the Township of Esquimalt and the Greater Victoria Sport Tourism Commission for their collaboration in bringing this event back to Greater Victoria.

“Victoria is a great curling town—and I know the community thoroughly enjoyed having the Provincial Championships here last year. We are very excited to welcome Curl BC and the Provincials back to Esquimalt again in December.” – Keith Wells, Executive Director of Greater Victoria Sport Tourism Commission.
