Regina city council eyes 2024 Brier bid Wednesday
Global News
City council is set to review a report outlining the investment and planning required to host the Brier curling tournament in 2024.
The prestigious Brier curling tournament could soon return to Regina.
On Wednesday, city councillors will debate whether to move forward with a bid to host the Canadian men’s curling championship in 2024, spending $200,000 in the process.
“The city’s administration has been invited by the Events Conventions and Tradeshows Alliance (ECT Alliance) to participate, in support of Curl Regina, in the preparation of a bid to host the 2024 Brier,” states a council report on the matter, which will be reviewed by council Wednesday.
The report, drafted by city of Regina administration, recommends council and the city “support the community bid to host the 2024 Brier with a total contribution of up to $200,000 consisting of a cash grant of $125,000 and the provision of Regina Transit services valued up to $75,000.”
If council approves plans for the bid, the report states Curling Canada will review it and make a decision this summer.
The ECT Alliance is led by Economic Development Regina and consists of representation from senior leaders from the Regina Hotel Association, REAL District, Tourism Saskatchewan and the City of Regina.
The ECT Alliance’s mandate is to “provide strategic, long-term guidance, and oversight in the identification of major city-wide and regional event prospects that are an ideal fit within community, facilities, and hotels.”
The city of Regina’s consideration for hosting the Brier began this past April in a private executive committee meeting attended by Tim Reid, president of REAL, Chelsea Galloway of Tourism Regina, and Bernadette McIntyre of Curl Regina.
