Canadian women's curling championship
The 1964 Diamond "D" Championship the Canadian women's curling championship was held from February 24 to 28, 1964 at the Sportex [ 1] in Edmonton , Alberta .
Team British Columbia , who was skipped by Ina Hansen won the event by finishing the round robin with an 8–1 record. This was British Columbia's second championship,[ 2] with their previous title coming two years earlier in 1962 , which was also skipped by Hansen. Hansen became the first skip in Canadian women's curling championship history to have won two championships.
Both Alberta and Nova Scotia finished tied for second with 6–3 records, necessitating a tiebreaker playoff for second place. Alberta would go on to beat Nova Scotia 7-4 in the tiebreaker to capture runner-up honors.
The Newfoundland rink had the dubious distinction of becoming the first team ever to finish round robin play winless.
