The 2016 National (branded as the 2016 Boost National for sponsorship reasons) was held from December 6 to 11 at the Essar Centre in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. This was the third Grand Slam of Curling event of the 2016–17 curling season.

On the men's side, the defending Olympic champion Brad Jacobs rink won their second career Grand Slam event. The team won the event on home ice, as they are from the Soo. To win, they defeated the Reid Carruthers rink from Manitoba, who had just come from winning the 2016 Canada Cup of Curling a week earlier.

On the women's side, the Manitoba-based Kerri Einarson rink won their first career Grand Slam event, defeating the Silvana Tirinzoni team from Switzerland in the final. Both the Jacobs and Einarson rink took home $30,000 for their championship wins.
