The 2023 Ontario Tankard/Scotties was able to give an update to Bruce County council this week.
The event chair, Doug Flowers also requested a funding sponsorship from council for $8000, to help with enticing visitors back for the event.
The Tankard and The Scotties are the men’s and women’s respective provincial curling championships.
The winners of the two events will go on to represent Ontario at the Brier and the Scott Tournament of Hearts, which are the men’s and women’s national championships.
Flowers also shared that the 2023 event is expected to take place over seven days instead of five, and have 24 competing instead of 12.
The Tankard and Scotties events will be January 23-39 at The Plex in Port Elgin.
