Moose Jaw Hosts World Curling Championships

Megan Patterson: — Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The world curling championship in Moose Jaw at the Temple Gardens Centre was an incredible success. Team Canada, led by Brad Jacobs, captured the bronze medal with a win over China. With this they secured their spot in the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Scotland claimed the world championship, edging out Switzerland 5-4 in a thrilling gold medal game.

Moose Jaw came alive during championship week. Fans, volunteers, and staff at the Temple Gardens Centre truly knocked it out of the house.

Moose Jaw has been proud to host many national and international events since the downtown arena opened in 2011. Tens of thousands of spectators made their way to Moose Jaw to be a part of the excitement. We also were honoured to have the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan host a special reception. She is a passionate curling fan and also a certified umpire and official and still manages to curl twice a week.

It was indeed a week to remember in Moose Jaw. Thank you to all the volunteers, attendees, and athletes who came out to this year’s world curling championship.
