The 2022 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Canada's national women's curling championship, was held from January 28 to February 6 at the Fort William Gardens in Thunder Bay, Ontario.[1][2] The winning team represented Canada at the 2022 World Women's Curling Championship at the CN Centre in Prince George, British Columbia.[3]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Ontario public health orders, the tournament was held behind closed doors with no public spectators for the second season in a row. As Ontario began to permit a maximum capacity of 500 spectators at indoor sporting events beginning January 31, Curling Canada explored admitting limited public spectators for the playoff draws, but ultimately decided against doing so.[4][5] Organizers later invited tournament volunteers and junior curlers from the Thunder Bay area to attend the playoff draws.[6][7]
