The Grand Slam of Curling will be heading to Charlottetown for the first time next season when the Bell Aliant Centre hosts the HearingLife Tour Challenge, Oct. 1-6.

The HearingLife Tour Challenge is the largest event in the series with 32 men’s teams and 32 women’s teams in action. Both divisions are split into two tiers with Tier 1 featuring the top teams from around the world and Tier 2 featuring the next-ranked teams looking to fast-track into the top flight. Winners of the Tier 2 will receive automatic berths into a future Grand Slam of Curling event.
