In about a week’s time, the City of Chestermere will host the BOOST National Grand Slam of Curling. The event, which is the second in the Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling series, will take place from November 2 to 7th at the Chestermere Recreation Centre.

“We are thrilled to finally be hosting the BOOST National here in Chestermere this November!” said Mayor Marshall Chalmers. “This is the first time we are hosting a curling event of this scale and we are excited to welcome the best curlers in the world to our community. We would also like to acknowledge the contributions of Olympic curler and local resident Ben Hebert, for helping to bring this event here.”

The tournament will feature a competition of the 15 best men’s and 15 best women’s teams from around the world. The tournament was originally scheduled for last year, but it was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event will also include a triple knockout preliminary round - a bracket format where teams must win three games before they lose three - to determine the eight teams advancing to the quarterfinals in both divisions. Triple knockout matches will be released at a later date.
