The champion of the 2023 Scotties will also represent Canada in the LGT World Women’s Curling Championship in addition to $100,000. The tournament will take place in mid-March, and it will be held in Sandviken, Sweden, from March 18 to March 26. A fourth victory for Einarson would imply something different for her squad. That would allow them to represent Canada outside of Canada for the first time.
