This was the third time Rouyn-Noranda played host the Canadian Junior Curling Championships. The city previously held the men's event in 1960 which was won by Alberta's Tommy Kroeger and the women's event in 1986, won by British Columbia's Jodie Sutton. Like the 2022 championship, the 2023 event featured eighteen teams on both the men's and women's sides, each split into two pools of nine. The top three teams from each pool at the end of the round robin advanced to the playoff round. Based on results from the 2020 and 2022 events, certain provinces earned two berths to the championship. Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Ontario and Saskatchewan each earned an extra berth on the men's side, while Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia got two berths on the women's side The host province, Quebec, also earned two teams.
