CCAA 50th Anniversary: Curling

Assiniboine College of Brandon, MB hosted a national invitational curling event in 1983 which featured a round-robin structure in women’s, men’s and mixed competition. The event was highly regarded and the first official CCAA Curling Championship was held the following year at Cariboo College in Kamloops, BC.

The Championship ran under this format for seven seasons and featured teams and strong performances from across the CCAA membership including the former Prairie Athletic Conference of Saskatchewan.

After a twenty-two year absence, Fleming College hosted a revived CCAA Curling Championship in 2012, which featured sixteen teams from the OCAA, ACAC and ACAA. A National Championship review updated the requirements for CCAA Championship status, which put the sport of Curling in jeopardy again due to the lack of Conferences participating.

However, Curling Canada entered the scene at the opportune time with a proposal to host collaborative championships, which is the format the sport has used since 2018.
