The field is now complete as the teams gear up for the 2020 BC Open and Women’s Stick Curling Championships in Vernon this weekend.
This is the inaugural year of the women’s competition and the first time this event has been run under the Curl BC umbrella.
The event goes ahead at the Vernon Curling Club Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 14 and 15. Although it is taking place in 2019, this event will crown the 2020 stick champions.

These were direct entry championships and teams from across B.C. were invited to register.
Teams from Vernon, Enderby, Abbotsford, Salmon Arm, Armstrong, Kelowna, Creston and Comox Valley will compete.
This version of curling, which has been around since the 1980s, is played by two people throwing with a stick.
