Team Alberta, who was skipped by Ron Northcott captured the Brier Tankard by finishing round robin play with a 9-1 record. This was Alberta's tenth Brier championship overall and the second one won by Northcott's rink, who also won the Brier two years prior in 1966. Northcott's rink would represent Canada in the 1968 Air Canada Silver Broom, which was the men's world curling championship.
Saskatchewan were runners-up, with an 8–2 record while Prince Edward Island finished in third with a 7-3 record, which at the time was PEI's best Brier finish.
