CurlManitoba has announced a change of dates for the 2026 RME Women of the Rings Championship presented by Case IH.
The Manitoba women’s championship will now be played December 30, 2025 to January 4, 2026. The venue, Riverdale Community Centre in Rivers, is unchanged.
“We very much appreciate the co-operation of the Rivers host committee and the Riverdale Community Centre in making the change,” says CurlManitoba Executive Director Craig Baker.
“The previously announced dates in early January were the best fit in the Grand Slam of Curling’s plans to bring the AMJ Players’ Championship to Steinbach’s new Southeast Event Centre – recently announced for January 6-11, 2026,” said Baker. “The change of dates for the Manitoba Women’s championship event made sense in order to ensure Manitoba curling fans can support their favorite local teams in Rivers and their favorite international teams in Steinbach.”
Like all curling fans, Baker says he is excited to see the new Southeast event centre turned into a curling venue and anticipates the possibility of it hosting future provincial and even national/international championships.
