An event more than six decades in the making is poised to take over the city of Kingston, Ont., in less than two months.

The 2020 Tim Hortons Brier, presented by AGI, is scheduled for Feb. 29 to March 8 at the Leon’s Centre in Kingston, which will mark the first time the Canadian Men’s Curling Championship has been played in Kingston since 1957.

The Wild Card Game is scheduled for Feb. 28, also at the Leon’s Centre.

For media requiring credentials to cover the 2020 Tim Hortons Brier, please apply on-line by CLICKING HERE by no later than Feb. 24, 2020. A few days before the event, you will be sent a confirmation letter outlining the on-site accreditation procedures.

Those requesting credentials must also email a high-resolution mugshot of themselves to media@curling.ca to make the on-site accreditation process easier.

Please note: On-ice photographers will be required to wear black clothing and shoes and restrict themselves to designated shooting areas during the games. There will be no exceptions to this guideline. CLICK HERE to review photography guidelines.

A limited number of rooms is being held at the Four Points by Sheraton Kingston for media looking for accommodation during the 2020 Tim Hortons Brier, and they will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; space is extremely tight. Please contact Kristen Pressling (kpressling@fourpointskingston.com) as soon as possible to arrange for accommodation.
