The 1957 Macdonald Brier , the Canadian men's national curling championship, was held from March 4 to 7, 1957 at Kingston Memorial Centre in Kingston, Ontario. A total of 19,000 fans attended the event.^[1]

Team Alberta, who was skipped by Matt Baldwin won the Brier Tankard by finishing round robin play unbeaten with a 10–0 record. This was Alberta's sixth Brier championship and the second time Baldwin had won a title as a skip, with his first coming in 1954. It was also the tenth time in which a team finished a Brier undefeated.

Saskatchewan's 30–3 victory over New Brunswick in Draw 2 set a Brier record for most points scored in a game by one team (30) and the largest margin of victory in a game (27). This broke the previous records of set in 1934 by Ontario in their 26–2 victory over Nova Scotia. The game also tied the record set in 1932 for most combined points by both teams in a game (33). To date, the 30 points scored by Saskatchewan is still a Brier record.^[2]

This Brier also at the time broke a record for most extra ends played in a single Brier with eight. This broke the previous record of six set in 1931.

The 2022 Tim Hortons Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship, was held from March 4 to 13 at the ENMAX Centre in Lethbridge, Alberta. In the final, the defending Olympic bronze medallist Brad Gushue Wild Card #1 team, which also include Mark Nichols, Brett Gallant and Geoff Walker from Newfoundland and Labrador defeated Alberta, skipped by Kevin Koe. It was Gushue's fourth career Brier title, and the team did it shorthanded, as Nichols missed the playoffs due to testing positive for COVID-19. According to Curling Canada, it was the first time a three-player team won a Brier final. Gushue's four Brier wins ties the record with Ernie Richardson, Randy Ferbey, Kevin Martin and Koe for most Brier championships as a skip, and his rink tied the "Ferbey Four" for most Brier championships as a foursome with four titles. Gushue played as a Wild Card team as they missed the Newfoundland and Labrador provincials due to their participation in the Olympics, and were the first team to ever play at the Brier and the Olympics in the same year. They were also the first Wild Card team to win the Brier.
