The event was such a success that organizers were already talking about hosting the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw again before the 2015 tournament was even over.

Curl Moose Jaw has started that process to bid on the 2020 event but has asked for financial support from the city. City Manager Jim Puffalt believes is a solid request that isn't likely to cost taxpayers anything.

"In the end, we believe it would be a $100,000 commitment from the city and that's, in essence, a backstop or seed money for the event to be held," explained Puffalt. "We would be requesting that the Mosaic Board and the curling club each repay $50,000 of that to the city. There's an opportunity for the two groups to make profits and then there's no requirement for the city to put money into the project."

Council has agreed to show Curling Canada that the bid committee has financial support but if the local committee is able to secure other funds that have been promised to them with a handshake, the city won't have to provide any of the funding.

A report to city council showed the event is likely to turn a profit in the hundreds of thousands of dollars without even considering what it will mean for local businesses that saw large increases in their bottom line thanks to the fans and athletes.
