2023 National

The 2023 KIOTI National was held from November 7 to 12 at the Pictou County Wellness Centre in Westville Road, Nova Scotia. It was the second Grand Slam event and first major of the 2023–24 curling season.

In the men's final, Italy's Joël Retornaz team continued their strong season by defeating the Niklas Edin rink from Sweden, 6–5. It was their second straight Slam victory, and third ever.

In the women's final, South Korea's Gim Eun-ji rink continued their strong play from the 2023 Pan Continental Curling Championships the week prior, defeating the previously undefeated Rachel Homan rink from Ontario 7–6 in the championship game. It was Gim's first Slam title, and the first Slam title for a South Korean team at the Tier 1 level.
