The 1991 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championship, was held from February 23 to March 2, 1991, at Saskatchewan Place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.1991 Scott Tournament of Hearts – team and player identification http://cdn.curling.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/1991_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts.pdf dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120319202000/http://cdn.curling.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/1991_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts.pdf 2012-03-19 2011-03-21 The total attendance was a then-record 72,245, which more than doubled the previous mark set in 1987.
Team British Columbia, who was skipped by Julie Sutton won the event after defeating New Brunswick in the final 7–5. This was BC's seventh title overall and the first of two titles won by Sutton (later Skinner), who also won as a third in 2000. This was also New Brunswick's last playoff appearance until 2022.
The Sutton rink would go onto represent Canada at the 1991 Canada Safeway World Women's Curling Championship on home soil in Winnipeg, Manitoba where they got the silver medal after losing to Norway in the final. Additionally, they also would represent Canada at the 1992 Winter Olympics held in Albertville, France since there were no Olympic Trials for the 1992 games.
The 121 blank ends in the event set a new tournament record for the most blank ends in a single tournament, which was tied the 1992 following year and to date remains a record. Yukon/Northwest Territories 7–6 victory over Prince Edward Island in the opening draw of the event was the fifth game to go into a second extra end and the third straight tournament in which this occurred.Hearts Records https://stats.curling.io/hearts/records Curling Canada Stats Archive Curling Canada 20 March 2023

Vera Pezer 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 Vera Pezer, who is considered to be one of the most accomplished women's curlers of all time. Pezer skipped a then-record four women's championships, including three straight from 1971 to 1973, which was a record at the time as well.
