The Grand Slam of Curling has announced its 2026 season, featuring five events across Canada following an unsuccessful U.S. trial. Cities including Victoria, Medicine Hat, Sydney, Thunder Bay and Kingston will host top men's and women's teams competing for $2.1 million in prizes. Organizers cite heightened global interest after the Winter Olympics as a key factor.
Eight-time Grand Slam title winner Val Sweeting has joined the Victoria-based team of Kayla MacMillan. The club announced the move Sunday on social media. Sweeting spent the previous eight seasons playing third on Kerri Einarson's team from Gimli, Man.

Organizers expect around 50,000 spectators and a significant economic boost for the city.
