by Curling Canada is expected to announce Sydney will host the 2019 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, later this morning.
Officials with the organization are holding a news conference at Centre 200 at 11:00.
In May, the Regional Municipality announced it was entering a bid to host the Tournament of Hearts at Centre 200.
Regional Council voted to contribute 150-thousand dollars to the bid process.
