The Scotties Tournament of Hearts is returning to Calgary.

WinSport will host the Canadian women’s curling championship in February 2024.

The tournament will take place Feb. 16 to 25.

Calgary held the tournament in 2021 in what was described as the “curling bubble” at Canada Olympic Park before near-empty stands due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It has a seating capacity of around 3,000.

“It’s a great privilege to welcome Canada’s top women’s curling teams back to the city in 2024,” said Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek. “While we recently hosted the Scotties as part of the closed curling bubble in 2021, we certainly missed the experience of cheering on the athletes live and in person.”

Alberta teams have won the Canadian women’s championship on eight occasions, behind only Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Team Canada, with 11 apiece.

The 2023 Scotties Tournament of Hearts will be held in Kamloops, B.C., starting Feb. 17.
