Team Ontario, who was skipped by Heather Houston won the title beating defending champion Pat Sanders and Team Canada 6–5 in the final. Ontario made it to the final after winning two tiebreaker games over Manitoba and British Columbia before beating Saskatchewan 7–4 in the semifinal. This was Ontario's second championship overall and the first of back-to-back championships skipped by Houston. Ontario joined Saskatchewan in 1980 as the only teams to win the title after playing in a tiebreaker game and the first to win a title after winning multiple tiebreaker games since the playoffs were instituted in 1979.

Houston's rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1988 World Women's Curling Championship in Glasgow, Scotland where they took home the silver medal after losing to West Germany in the final.

Prince Edward Island's 3–2 victory over Canada in Draw 13 tied records for the lowest combined score by both teams in one game (5) and the most blank ends in one game (6).[3]
