The 2020 Meridian Canadian Open was held from January 14 to 19 at the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton, Saskatchewan. It was the fourth Grand Slam event and third "major" of the 2019–20 season.[1] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it would end up being the last Grand Slam of the season, and the last Slam to be held until the 2021 Champions Cup held in April 2021.
In the men's final, Team Jacobs won their third straight Grand Slam by beating Team Epping in a tight 6–5 game. In the women's final, Team Hasselborg also won her third straight event defeating young Team Kim 7–5 in an extra end.
