Tim Hortons Brier 2005 Tim Hortons Brier
The
Tim Hortons Brier , also known as
the Brier , is the
annual Canadian men 's
curling championship, sanctioned by the
Canadian Curling Association (CCA). The current
event name harks of its title
sponsor , the
Tim Hortons coffee and donut shop chain, but is commonly known (and amidst varied lead sponsorship) by the simpler rendition.
The Brier has been held since 1927. For the first fifty years, the Brier was sponsored by
Macdonald Tobacco (later
RJR Tobacco Company and now part of JTI-Macdonald Corporation).
Labatt was the title sponsor from
1980 to
2000 .
Nokia Canada was the title sponsor from
2001 -
2004 . On
September 10 ,
2004 , the CCA announced that Tim Hortons would be the new title sponsor, beginning with the
2005 Tim Hortons Brier in
Edmonton, Alberta .
The Brier is contested by 12 teams: most provinces are represented by 1 team, Ontario by 2 teams (
Ontario and
Northern Ontario ), and the territories by another. These teams qualify for the Brier through provincial championships, which are held every year and are open to any Canadian men's curling team. The winner of the Brier goes on to compete as Team Canada at the
World Championships of the same year. Despite its relatively small population, the province of
Manitoba has won more Briers than any other province with 26.
