The TCA continues to work in partnership with CurlON and Curling Canada as conversations continue about the safe return to curling this fall season. We are meeting every other week with TCA curling club managers to continue work towards a safe return to curling.

We will continue to share updates on this page as more information becomes available. New information since the previous update will be bolded. Information that is obsolete will be removed.
