The 2024 Scotties BC Women's Curling Championship, the provincial women's curling championship for British Columbia, was held from January 23 to 28 at the Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt, British Columbia.[1] The event was held in conjunction with the 2024 BC Men's Curling Championship, the provincial men's curling championship.
The winning Clancy Grandy rink represented British Columbia at the 2024 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Calgary, Alberta where they finished tied for third in Pool B with a 5–3 record with Manitoba's Kate Cameron. Both Grandy and Cameron met in the last draw of Pool B to determine the final playoff spot, which the Grandy rink lost 7–4 and missing the playoffs as a result.
Additionally, the runner-up Corryn Brown rink also represented British Columbia in the Scotties as a second wild card team replacing Nunavut, who withdrew their entry from the tournament. The Brown rink finished in a five-way tie for third in Pool B with a 4–4 record along with Manitoba's Kaitlyn Lawes, Northern Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan. With tiebreaker games now abolished and the first tiebreaker (which was head-to-head between all tied teams) was tied as well at 2–2, cumulative last stone draw distance between all the teams was used to decide who would make the playoffs. The Brown rink finished with a total of 466.9 but would miss the playoffs as the Lawes rink finished first with a 231.6.
The tournament returned to a round-robin format after the previous three years used a triple knockout.
