The 2021 Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship (branded as the 2021 Home Hardware Canadian Mixed Doubles Curling Championship for sponsorship reasons) was held from March 18 to 25 at the Markin MacPhail Centre at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta.[2] The winning pair of Kerri Einarson and Brad Gushue represented Canada at the 2021 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Aberdeen, Scotland
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, it was announced that most Curling Canada championships still being held in the 2020–21 curling season would be moved to a centralized "bubble" (similar to that of the NHL as in Edmonton) at Canada Olympic Park.[3] All events will be held behind closed doors with no spectators.[4] In addition, due to COVID-19 restrictions and logistics, most provincial playdowns have been cancelled, with teams being selected by their respective member associations.
During the night of Sunday, March 21, Darren Moulding was experiencing back spasms, forcing him and partner Joanne Courtney to forfeit their match the next morning. Later that day, the duo officially pulled out of the competition.[5]
