The announcement affects this year's national mixed doubles, seniors, under-18 and wheelchair championships.
The national mixed doubles and seniors curling championships were scheduled for March in Portage la Prairie, Man., while the national wheelchair championship in Boucherville, Que., and under-18 event in Sudbury, Ont., were scheduled to take place in April.

The world women's championship had been scheduled to start March 14 in Prince George, B.C.
