The 1993 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 27 to March 6, 1993, at the Keystone Centre in Brandon, Manitoba. The total attendance for the week was a then-record 88,022, which broke the previous mark set in by over 15,000.
Team Saskatchewan, who was skipped by Sandra Peterson won the event after defeating the hometown rink Manitoba 7–6 in the final in an extra end after Peterson hit a Manitoba rock biting the rings and rolled into the house.Archived at Ghostarchive and the Wayback Machine: It was Saskatchewan's first title since and ninth overall and the first of three titles skipped by Peterson (later Schmirler). The Peterson rink would go onto represent Canada in the 1993 World Women's Curling Championship held in Geneva, Switzerland, which they also won.
