The U20 Curling Championship for 2025 has begun at the Heath Curling Club in Saint Andrews.

It brings together the province’s top young curlers and determines who represents New Brunswick at the national level. It’s the second such tournament the club has hosted in a month – holding the New Brunswick Women’s Curling Championship in January.
