Canadian women's curling championship
The 1995 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 18 to 26, 1995[2] at the Max Bell Centre[3] in Calgary, Alberta.[4] The total attendance for the week was 52,202.[1] It was the first time the Page playoff system would be used at the Tournament of Hearts.
Team Manitoba, who was skipped by Connie Laliberte won the event after defeating Alberta in the final 6–5. This was Manitoba's fifth title overall and the third skipped by Laliberte, who previously won in 1984 and 1992. At the time, Laliberte joined Vera Pezer as the only skips to have won the event three times. With the win, Team Laliberte went on to represent Canada at the 1995 World Women's Curling Championship.
After winning the Manitoba Hearts, Laliberte's third Karen Purdy broke her ankle after a fall, forcing the team to replace her with Cathy Overton-Clapham for the national championship.[5]
In the final, Alberta had a 3–2 lead after five ends, but Manitoba capitalized in the sixth end on a mistake by Alberta skip Cathy Borst when she wrecked on a guard with her last rock. Laliberte drew for two to take the lead. The teams traded singles over the next three ends, making the teams tied 5–5 heading into the last end, with Manitoba having the hammer. Manitoba struggled in the 10th end, with lead Janet Arnott missing a peel, and second Cathy Gauthier flashing on a hit. On her final shot of the end, Borst partially buried her stone in the four-foot. Laliberte replied by chipping out the Manitoba rock, hanging around in the 12-foot for the winning point.[5]

The all-star team and sportsmanship award winners were as follows:[10]
Robert Stewart Award
[edit]
The Scotties Tournament of Hearts Sportsmanship Award is presented to the curler who best embodies the spirit of curling at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The winner was selected in a vote by all players at the tournament.
Prior to 1998, the award was named after a notable individual in the curling community where the tournament was held that year. For this edition, the award was named after Robert Stewart, who was the chairman of the board and CEO of Scott Paper[11] and was awarded the Canadian Curling Association Board of Governors Special Recognition Award in 1995.[12]
Starting with the 1995 tournament, Ford began a tradition of a skills competition preceding the round robin of the tournament. Each competitor had to perform a series of shots with each shot scoring between 0 and 5 points depending on where the stone came to rest. The winner of the inaugural edition of the event would win a two-year lease on a Ford Contour GL.
