Three high profile sporting events could be coming to Regina including the 2018 Tim Hortons Brier.
The city is also eyeing another Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling – Tour Challenge event for next year, along with the 2017 Skate Canada International.
This week the executive committee will discuss the city’s willingness to put up a couple hundred thousand dollars to help put on the events, but only if bids are successful.

The city report says the economic impact for the Brier could be as high as $15 million dollars.
