It was the second straight year that the event was held in Port Elgin. The 2022 event had been subject to COVID-19 restrictions, capping attendance at 500 people per draw, so the organizers requested that CurlON hold the event in Port Elgin again. The event was held in conjunction with the 2023 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the provincial women's curling championship, which were held in Thornhill in 2022 (both events are held together in non-Olympic years).[2]
