The **BC Men's Curling Championship** (formerly the **belairdirect BC Men's Provincial Curling Championship** and the **Canadian Direct Insurance BC Men's Provincials**) is the [British Columbia](/source/British_Columbia) provincial championship for men's curling. It was known as the **Safeway Select** up to 2003. The tournament is run by [Curl BC](/source/Curl_BC), the provincial curling association. The winner represents Team British Columbia at the [Tim Hortons Brier](/source/Tim_Hortons_Brier).

## Qualification

The event features ten teams. The defending champions and the top team on the [Canadian Team Ranking System](/source/CCA_rankings) from B.C. are invited to play. Two teams from the British Columbia coastal region and from the British Columbia interior earn berths, while and additional two teams from each of those two regions come out of a second round of qualifying.
