1971 Canadian Ladies Curling Association Championship

The 1971 Canadian Ladies Curling Association Championship, Canada's national women's curling championship was held February 22[1] to 26 at Memorial Stadium, in St. John's, Newfoundland.[2]

Team Saskatchewan, skipped by the Vera Pezer rink won the title, defeating Alberta 9–2 in a playoff. It was the third straight title for Saskatchewan,[3] and the first of three straight titles for Pezer.

The event had particularly good ice conditions for the time, due in part to cool weather and small crowds. The small crowds were blamed on a lack of a middle class in Newfoundland, and the small numbers of curlers in the province.[4]
