Notes:
- Nova Scotia finished first as they defeated Alberta 8-7 in draw 13.

- British Columbia defeated New Brunswick 7-5 in a tie-breaker (draw 18) on March 12 to claim fourth place.
- Most of the draws were televised live on TSN.
The brier uses the page playoff system where the top four teams with the best records at the end of round-robin play meet in the playoff rounds. The first and second place teams play each other, with the winner advancing directly to the final. The winner of the other page playoff game between the third and fourth place teams plays the loser of the first/second playoff game in the semi-final. The winner of the semi-final moves on to the final.
Normally the 3 versus 4 page playoff game is played before the 1 versus 2 playoff game on Friday. However, since a tiebreaker was played this year on the same day to decide fourth place, the 1 versus 2 game was played first.

The final (draw 22) was played on March 14 and televised on the CBC across Canada. Dacey had first rock advantage in the first end due to their first place position in the round-robin. Furbey led 8-4 after the 7th end but Dacey's team put themselves back into the game with a big 3 point 8th end. Forcing Alberta to take a single in the 9th, Dacey was 2 down coming home but had last rock advantage. A couple of errors by Furbey's team and some good shot making, gave Nova Scotia 3 points in the 10th end and the championship.
