Curling Canada
Curling Canada is a sanctioning body for the sport of curling in Canada. It is associated with more than a dozen provincial and territorial curling associations across the country, and organizes Canada's national championships in the sport. It was formed in 1990 by the merger of the two previous sanctioning bodies, Curl Canada and the Canadian Ladies' Curling Association.

From its creation until 2007, Dave Parkes was the general manager and then chief executive officer.Greg Stremlaw was the CEO until 2015 when he took over as head of sports at CBC Sports Katherine Henderson became CEO in 2016 and continued to be in that role until August 2023, when she became CEO of Hockey Canada. Danny Lamoureux took over as interim CEO as her replacement. Nolan Thiessen was appointed CEO in January 2024.
On February 27, 2015, the organization rebranded as Curling Canada.
