The Island Shootout, previously known as the Vancouver Island Shootout, is an annual curling bonspiel that was established in 2011. For the 2011–12 curling season, the event took place at the Juan de Fuca Curling Club in Colwood, British Columbia. The men's event was held in a triple knockout format, and the women's event was held in a round robin format.[1] For the 2012–13 curling season and 2014–15 curling season, the event took place at the Victoria Curling Club in Victoria, British Columbia, and both the men's and women's events were held in a triple knockout format.
In 2023, the event was held for a fourth time after a nine-year hiatus under the name Island Shootout.[2] It was held at the Victoria Curling Club and served as a qualifier for the BC men's and women's provincial championships.[3]
