Canada's mixed doubles curling team opened the 2026 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship with a victory on April 25, 2026, in Fredericton, New Brunswick. The Canadian pair, consisting of Laura Walker and Kirk Muyres, defeated their opponents in the preliminary round.
The championship, which runs from April 25 to May 2, 2026, features 20 teams competing for the world title. Canada is seeking its first gold medal in mixed doubles since 2019, when Kaitlyn Lawes and John Morris won in Stavanger, Norway.
Walker and Muyres, who teamed up in 2021, have previous experience at this level, including a silver medal at the 2023 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Gangneung, South Korea. Their strong start in Fredericton positions them well for the round-robin stage.
