“On behalf of everyone at Golf Canada, I would like to thank Tourism Winnipeg and the City of Winnipeg for your support of the 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Open. This edition of our national championship was a huge success thanks in large part to your commitment. You combined efforts helped make the event possible which in turn resulted in this lasting legacy for the province. In bringing together key partners from the City and the Province, your teams facilitated all of our events needs. Winnipeg was an excellent host for our national championship and we look forward to working with Tourism Winnipeg and the City of Winnipeg again in the future.”

“Our Association awarded the 2008 Tim Hortons Brier to the city of Winnipeg. As most curling fans are aware, this event is our flagship championship which has an incredible following across Canada and internationally. Winnipeg did not disappoint.

The Canadian Curling Association feels Winnipeg is one of our primary host cities and that the MTS Centre provides a major venue able to facilitate all of our needs. It is without hesitation that the CCA would endorse Winnipeg as a great place to host an event.”
