# 2004 World Senior Curling Championships

The 2004 World Senior Curling Championships were held from April 17 to 23 at the Gavlerinken arena in Gävle, Sweden.
The tournament was held in conjunction with the 2004 World Women's Curling Championship and the 2004 World Men's Curling Championship.
Canada nearly boycotted the event, due to a perceived lack of qualifying standards for other countries at the tournament.
