The 2024 Co-op Canadian Open was held from January 16 to 21 at the Servus Arena in Red Deer, Alberta.[1] It was the fourth Grand Slam event and third major of the 2023–24 curling season.
The event was held in a round robin format for the first time since 2013.
Qualification
The top 15 ranked men's and women's teams on the World Curling Federation's world team rankings as of December 18, 2023, qualified for the event. The Grand Slam of Curling may fill one spot in each division as a sponsor's exemption. In the event that a team declines their invitation, the next-ranked team on the world team ranking is invited until the field is complete. The sixteenth spots were filled by the 2023 Tour Challenge Tier 2 champions.[2]
On January 14, two days before the event began, Team Stefania Constantini of Italy withdrew for medical reasons. Their spot was filled by the highest ranked Alberta women's team as of the December 18 cutoff, which was Team Selena Sturmay. The schedule was unchanged.[3]
