It’s official: Regina will play host to the 2018 Brier curling championship.

Curling Canada has announced the tournament will be held at the Brandt Centre from March 3-11.

"Curling's roots go deep in the province of Saskatchewan, and based on past history, I have no doubt that the city of Regina will embrace the 2018 Tim Hortons Brier," said Peter Inch, chair of the Curling Canada board of governors.

"The Tim Hortons Brier is the world's most famous curling championship, and Regina is in for a memorable nine days of thrilling action, on and off the ice."

The Brier was last held in Regina in 2006, and Saskatoon hosted the tournament in 2012.

The last time Saskatchewan medalled at the Brier was in 2015, when the rink led by Steve Laycock won bronze.

The 2017 Brier will be held from March 4-12 in St. John's, N.L.
