The Edmonton 1987 Brier Limited (Ltd.) was incorporated as a non-profit private association under the Companies Act on July 30, 1985. The objectives of the Edmonton 1987 Brier Ltd. were to promote, stage, manage and operate the Canadian Curling Championship for 1987, as well as other social and cultural events in conjunction with the Championship, and promote amateur curling in Canada. The 1987 Labatt Brier was held March 8-15 at Northlands Agricom in Edmonton, Alberta. Norm Thomson was the general chairman. Ultimate responsibility for the organization of the Canadian Curling Championship is held by the Canadian Curling Association (C.C.A.); however, it delegates part of the responsibility to the Host Committee, in this case, Edmonton 1987 Brier Ltd., which organized the Championship under general directions of C.C.A. and the Labatt Brewing Company. | | SCOPE AND CONTENT: | The fonds consists of organizing records of the Edmonton 1987 Brier Ltd. including committee minutes, correspondence, financial records, participant biographies, manuals, and programs. | | GENERAL NOTE: | Information for the administrative history is taken from the Alberta Gazette and from the records.
