2 Sep 2020 – The COVID-19 global pandemic has forced the World Curling Federation to cancel several events in the next few months.

Those that affect New Zealand curlers are the Pacific-Asia Championships in Japan, and the World Junior-B Championships in Finland.

The World Junior Championships in Beijing (18-28 February) are currently still scheduled, and the NZ Junior Men's place in this event has been restored after the abandonment of the Junior-B event. The NZ Curling Association's Executive will make a decision on New Zealand's participation at this event as soon as possible.

Anyone with queries or concerns should contact NZCA Secretary Lauren Becker.
