The 1987 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's curling championship, was held from February 28 to March 7, 1987 at the Lethbridge Sportsplex[2] in Lethbridge, Alberta.[3] The total attendance for the week was a then-record 34,277, which shattered the previous mark set in 1984 by over 10,000.[1]

Team British Columbia, who was skipped by Pat Sanders won the event after defeating Manitoba in the final 9–3 in nine ends. BC advanced to the final after defeating Quebec in the semifinal 10–6. This was BC's sixth championship and the only title skipped by Sanders.

Sanders' rink would represent Canada at the 1987 World Women's Curling Championship held in Chicago, Illinois, USA, where they won Canada's fourth straight world championship.

New Brunswick's 11–1 victory over Alberta in Draw 7 tied a record set in 1985 for the most stolen ends in a single game by one team as New Brunswick stole six ends in that game.[4]
