Canadian women's curling championship
The 1983 Scott Tournament of Hearts , the Canadian women's curling championship, was held from February 26 to March 5, 1983 at the Prince George Coliseum in Prince George, British Columbia . The total attendance for the event was 17,402.
After using a four-team playoff the previous year, the playoff was reverted back to a three-team playoff with the round robin winner receiving a direct bye into the final.
Team Nova Scotia , who was skipped by Penny LaRocque won the event by defeating Alberta in the final 5–4. This was Nova Scotia's second consecutive championship and the only title won by LaRocque. As of 2023 , LaRocque remains the only skip representing Nova Scotia other than Colleen Jones to win a championship. This is also the first time that either Atlantic or Eastern Canada had won consecutive titles.
LaRocque's rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1983 Pioneer Life World Women's Curling Championship on home soil in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan where they would lose in the semifinal to Norway .
The third place finish by Yukon /Northwest Territories would be the best finish ever by the Territories.

All-Star Team
Ina Hansen Award
The Scotties Tournament of Hearts Sportsmanship Award is presented to the curler who best embodies the spirit of curling at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The winner was selected in a vote by all players at the tournament.
Prior to 1998, the award was named after a notable individual in the curling community where the tournament was held that year. For this edition, the award was named after Ina Hansen , who won two championships in 1962 and 1964 respectively, becoming the first skip to win multiple titles.
Notes
^ Christine Jurgenson did not play in the tournament as she was sidelined with a viral infection. Lead Penny Ryan and second Sandra Rippel each threw an extra stone while Sandy Joyce of the host Prince George Curling Club was appointed as a designated sweeper.
^ Sandy McCubbin did not play in Draw 3 due to a sprained ankle. For that draw, second Sherry Lethbridge and third Berniece McCallan each threw three stones while BC was appointed a designated sweeper.
^ Linda Raby missed Draws 2–5 due to blood poisoning from an infected cut in her hand. In those draws, lead Odette Raby and second Guylaine Deschatelets each threw three stones while Quebec was appointed a designated sweeper.
