National women's curling championship was held in the city in 2022, without paid ticketholders in the stands, due to the effects of the pandemic.
But three years after the city hosted the national women’s curling championship, with no fans in the stands, the event is coming back to the Lakehead.
Al Cameron, spokesman for Curling Canada, said Thunder Bay put in a great bid, and given how well they did in 2022, it wasn’t a tough choice.“We wanted to do it right and I think it’s a happy situation that we we’re going to get to do it right in 2025.” The Scotties are expected to bring 3,000 people to the city over the course of the event, generating an economic impact between $7 million and $8 million, on a $400,000 bid fee paid for through the municipal accommodation tax, administered by the Thunder Bay Community Economic Commission.“TSN nine hours a day in broadcasting, and that’s Thunder Bay in the spotlight on national television over 10 days. That’s huge,” Cameron said.
“We called our dress rehearsal. There’s no disputing the fact we were disappointed that in 2022 we couldn’t put on a full event, so we are thrilled that Curling Canada saw what they liked when they were here in 2022 and they’re coming back again,” Imrie said.
