The 2023 Everest Canadian Senior Curling Championships were held from December 3 to 9 at the Vernon Curling Club in Vernon, British Columbia.[1] The winning teams will represent Canada at the 2024 World Senior Curling Championships in Östersund, Sweden.[1]

It is Vernon's third time hosting the Everest Canadian Senior Women's Championship and second time hosting the Everest Canadian Senior Men's Championship.[1]

Paul Flemming and his Nova Scotia rink of Peter Burgess, Martin Gavin and Kris Granchell won the men's event, defeating Saskatchewan's Bruce Korte rink in the final, 4–3. Flemming made an open hit for the win on his last rock. It was the second men's senior championship for the province. During the event, Flemming had a chest infection which involved going to the hospital.[2]

Susan Froud and her Ontario team of Kerry Lackie, Kristin Turcotte and Julie McMullin won the women's event, defeating Saskatchewan 10–4. After trailing 4–2 after the fourth, Ontario scored eight unanswered points, including steals of three in the sixth and seventh ends to claim victory. The win is the 11th women's title for Ontario, tying the province with Saskatchewan for the most.[3]
