The 2011 BDO Canadian Open of Curling was held from January 26–30 at the General Motors Centre in Oshawa, Ontario. This event was the third men's Grand Slam event in the 2010-11 curling season. The purse for this event was CAD$100,000. 18 men's teams will be playing for eight quarterfinal spots in a round-robin competition.
The competition was marked by an interesting turn of events when the Thomas Ulsrud rink failed to win a game against Peter Corner. Team Ulsrud's loss created an eight-way tie in 2–3 win–loss records, prompting a draw shot challenge and the scheduling of two tiebreakers. Team Ulsrud, as well as Team Corner, Team Middaugh, and Team Higgs, failed to advance in the draw shot challenge, leaving Team Epping, Team Fowler, Team Bice and Team Walchuk to participate in the tiebreakers. If Thomas Ulsrud's rink had won the game against Peter Corner, there would be no tiebreakers. This marks the first time in Grand Slam history that a 2–3 win–loss record could qualify a team to a tiebreaker. The four remaining teams fought for the eighth qualifying spot, and Rob Fowler won the qualifying game.
Mike McEwen won his second Grand Slam of the season in an extra-end win over Glenn Howard in the final.
