2003 Nokia Brier

The 2003 Nokia Brier, the Canadian men's curling championship, was held from March 1 to 9 at the Halifax Metro Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The defending champion, Randy Ferbey and his team from Alberta were the winners, winning their third Brier in a row.

At the Worlds they went on to represent Canada and win the gold medal.

The event was the second and final Brier to be boycotted by many of the top teams in the country, such as Kevin Martin, Glenn Howard, Wayne Middaugh and Jeff Stoughton,[1] who were protesting a lack of prize money.
