Some of the top men’s curlers in the province are in Selkirk this week for the 2026 Bunge Provincial Championship.

This is the sixth time the men’s championship is being held in Selkirk. There are 24 teams taking part that are representing all parts of Manitoba.

“We have a great field of curlers arranged so (fans) can expect some really close and well-played matches,” said Scott Szydlik, the host chairman for the championship.

Team Reid Carruthers, who operates out of the Granite Curling Club, enters as the top seed and defending champion.

Action is already underway, with matchups going until Sunday afternoon, when the finals are set to be played.

The winner will represent Manitoba at the Canadian Men’s Championship at the end of the month in St. John’s, N.L.
