“Curling Canada announces pay equity for Brier and Scotties champions”:
Canada's men's and women's curling teams will be playing for the same prize money at the 2020 Tim Hortons Brier and Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Curling Canada CEO Katherine Henderson announced Sunday.
The Brier (Canada's men's curling championship) and the Tournament of Hearts (the national women's championship) will offer total purses of $300,000 to the competing teams.
"This has been one of my goals since I joined Curling Canada in 2016, and a lot of hard work behind the scenes with our stakeholders went into making (Sunday's) announcement possible," said Henderson.
