Brandon Eyes Brier Return in 2028 | Winnipeg News

Brandon’s got its eyes on the Brier—Canada’s top men’s curling championship—hitting the ice in 2028. With a proven track record, including hosting in 2019, and top-notch facilities like the Keystone Centre, the city is confident it’s the best bet to bring national spotlight back to Manitoba. Curling Canada’s decision is expected by fall, and while rivals stay quiet, Brandon First is banking on past praise for smooth operations and community passion. Beyond the $800K hosting fee (split with the province), the economic boost could hit $10–20 million, fueling civic pride and post-pandemic momentum. Brandon’s also eyeing other big events—like U18 hockey and collegiate soccer—making this a pivotal year for the city’s event ambitions.
