The Canadian women's curling championship 2021 starts tomorrow in Calgary. The event will be held inside a bubble, with 18 teams. TV coverage on TSN starts tomorrow night, and runs through Feb. 28.
Canadian curling is getting it done with a national event during the pandemic. Now, the Canadian Curling Association has a TV contract, and better financial credentials than Chess Canada. But it is interesting to see this event go forward, at a time when national events in Canadian chess are at a standstill.
Also, as an avid curling fan myself, I am looking forward to the event; the 2013 version of this championship was staged in Kingston (my home), as was the 2020 men's championship. I got the chance to see several games both times!!
