White Ensign Mixed Bonspiel

February 12-16, 2025

Welcome Curlers!

We are proud to have the support of all our sponsors. We hope you enjoy our bonspiel this year.


Registration:
The Esquimalt White Ensign Mixed Bonspiel welcomes all curling teams. Please register your team soon to ensure your entry. We look forward to hosting another successful bonspiel and look forward to seeing you there.

Please note the following rules to the registration process for this popular event.

There will no longer be an opportunity to pre-register for the next Bonspiel until about two weeks after the completion of the current season's Bonspiel.

The White Ensign League teams will be able to pre-register, one entry per team, from after the current year's bonspiel until the Second Monday of March, in person complete with a $80 deposit.

On the Second Monday of March at 10:00 am registration will open up through the Registraton feature on the website, a deposit has to be received within two weeks of registering in order to secure your position on the entry list. After that you will be bumped down the list until we receive a deposit.

We can guarantee a full refund of your deposit if you notify us that you cannot attend the Bonspiel prior to the end of the calendar year. However, once the new calendar year starts your deposit will only be returned if the spot is filled and paid for. With this we are hoping that teams will let us know as soon as possible that they are not able to attend so that we can fill the spot rather than risk having an empty spot.
