Kingston to host Brier after six-decade wait

The Tim Hortons Brier will return to Kingston, Ont., next season for the first time in more than six decades. The national men’s curling championship will be held Feb. 29-March 8, 2020 at the 6,700-seat Leon’s Centre, Curling Canada said Thursday. Kingston last hosted the Brier in 1957, when Alberta’s Matt Baldwin hoisted the Tankard following a perfect 10-0 round robin performance at the Kingston Memorial Centre. The 2019 Brier will be held March 2-10 in Brandon, Man.
