The 2022 Tim Hortons Brier is in full swing, with competition starting this past weekend.
The best men's curling teams in Canada are gathered in Lethbridge to compete for a piece of the $300,000 purse as well as the opportunity to represent Canada in April at the 2022 LGT World Men's Curling Championship in Las Vegas.
