The BC Senior Curling Championships are now underway in Penticton until March 24.

Teams from across the province can be seen at the Penticton Curling Club at 505 Vees Dr., as they vie for gold in both men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 divisions.

The event鈥檚 opening ceremony took place Tuesday, March 19, with teams gathering for their official introductions.

Penticton hasn鈥檛 had a senior provincial championship team since Marilou Richter, Dawn Everest, Cindy Curtain and Deirdre Riley represented the South Okanagan city and 91大黄鸭 in the women鈥檚 division in 2019.

This weekend鈥檚 tournament is hosted by the Penticton Curling Club, in conjunction with BC Curl.

The provincial group says it will qualify one senior men鈥檚 team and an additional women鈥檚 team to compete at the Canadian Curling Senior Championships, set to be held from Dec. 2 to 7, 2024, in Moncton, New Brunswick.
