Alberta and British Columbia both finished round robin play tied for first with 7–2 records, necessitating a tiebreaker playoff between the two teams to determine the championship. Team Alberta, who was skipped by Hazel Jamison captured the championship after defeating BC in the tiebreaker 11–4. This was Alberta's second championship overall as they previously won in 1966. This was the first time in which a tiebreaker playoff determined the women's championship as the previous three tiebreaker playoffs (1961, 1963, and 1964) were to determine second place.
This championship would set a record for the most extra ends games in one tournament with five. This broke the previous mark of four which was happened twice in both 1961 and 1966. This would end up being broken the next year.
