2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials
Host city	Ottawa, Ontario
Arena	Canadian Tire Centre
Dates	December 2–10

The 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials will be held from December 2 to 10 at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario. The event is also known and advertised as the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings. The winners of the men's and women's events were chosen to represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The qualification process for the 2017 Olympic trials differed slightly from the process used at the 2013 trials. For both the men's and women's categories, a pool of nineteen teams is designated as eligible to represent Canada at the 2018 Olympics, based on rankings from the Canadian Team Ranking System (CTRS). From the pool of nineteen, seven teams are selected to qualify directly for the 2017 Canadian Curling Trials in December. The remaining twelve teams will compete in a pre-trials tournament, and the top two teams will qualify for the nine-team trials. The winner of each trials will represent Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Nine teams qualify for the Olympic Trials based on the following criteria. These are the projections made by Sportsnet on April 16th, 2017 during the broadcast of the Player's Championship Women's Final. The final berths will be decided on May 2, 2017

The pre-trials tournament takes place from November 6 to 12 in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. The top two finishers of the men's and women's events will qualify to participate in the Trials.
