Once every 10 years, Canada plays host to the world’s oldest international men’s curling bonspiel, the “Strathcona Cup”. This month-long curling bonspiel brings together 60 male curlers from Scotland to play against Canadians in curling centres across Canada.
The competition comprises three distinct tours (western, central and eastern Canada). Now in its 120th year, the next Strathcona Cup will be competed for in January 2023. The 2023 Strathcona Cup western tour (comprising 20 curlers – five teams) will begin in Vancouver on January 11, 2023 and pass through the B.C. interior before moving on to Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and winding up in Ottawa.
The Sherwood Park Curling Club (SPCC) has accepted the Alberta Strathcona Cup organizing committee’s invitation to host the Scottish curlers during their stop in Edmonton from January 19-20. The event coincides with SPCC’s celebration of 60 years of curling in Sherwood Park! Two games involving Scottish and Strathcona County curlers will take place January 20, 2023. As this is a men’s competition, the competition is open to any male curler.
