Truro has previously hosted Grand Slam of Curling events in 2015 and 2018.

Next year’s women’s world championship is scheduled for March 13-21, with World Curling in discussions to hold the tournament in the United Arab Emirates.

Canada has won a record 19 world women’s titles, most recently in 2025 when Rachel Homan’s rink captured gold in South Korea.
