Team New Brunswick, who was skipped by Mabel DeWare won the event by finishing the round robin with an 8-1 record. This was New Brunswick's first championship.[2] As of 2023, DeWare's rink is the only New Brunswick rink has won a Canadian women's curling championship. This was also the first time in which a team won the championship on their home soil.

British Columbia and Ontario finished tied for second with 7-2 records, necessitating a tiebreaker between the two teams to determine the runner-up. British Columbia won runner-up as they defeated Ontario 6-4. This was also the first tiebreaker that was scheduled for 10 ends as the previous tiebreakers in 1961 were scheduled for 12 ends.

Records

This event set or tied several scoring records of which have either been tied or still stand as of 2023.[10]

  • Ontario's 14-13 victory over eventual champion New Brunswick in Draw 2 set the record the most combined points scored between two teams in a single game (27). This record was later tied in 1967 and still has not been surpassed since.
  • Draw 5 saw the following records set or tied:
    • British Columbia's 16-0 win over Manitoba was the first time that a team scored a shutout in the Canadian women's championship. To date, the 16 points scored by British Columbia is the most points ever scored by a winning team in a shutout.
    • Saskatchewan's steal of 6 points in the fifth end tied the record for most stolen points scored in a single end. This also occurred in 1961 and has been matched four other times since (most recently in 2019).
    • Quebec's 7 points in the sixth end against Nova Scotia set the record for most points scored in a single end. This record has since been matched three times (1972, 2020, and 2023).
