The defending champions, Team Canada, who was skipped by Heather Houston repeated as champions as they defeated Manitoba in the final 11–5. This was the first time since the introduction of Team Canada in 1986 that they had won the event and the first time since 1973 that a team has successfully defended their title.[4]

Houston's rink would again go onto represent Canada at the 1989 World Women's Curling Championship in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA where they won the gold medal over Norway after finishing runner-up the year before.

There were a few notable feats and records that were set in this tournament.[5]

  • Alberta's 15–6 victory over Newfoundland in Draw 2 set a Hearts era (since 1982) record for the highest score by a team in one game. This has since been matched three different times.
  • Manitoba's 8–0 victory over Alberta in Draw 12 was the fifth time in tournament history that a shutout was recorded.
  • In British Columbia's 9–3 win over Newfoundland in Draw 15, BC's third Georgina Hawkes recorded the first perfect game in the women's national championship history since statistics were recorded in 1982.
  • The semifinal between Canada and Saskatchewan was the third game ever in tournament history and the only playoff game to date to go into a second extra end.
