The event was held in conjunction with the 2017 Ontario Tankard, southern Ontario's men's provincial championship which was held at the same time. The events are usually held separately.[1] The opening ceremonies were scheduled for January 30.[2]

The Rachel Homan rink, who were ranked #1 on the World Curling Tour's Order of Merit ranking[3] won the event, after having been upset in the 2016 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts by club-mates Jenn Hanna and her rink. Hanna did not curl competitively in the 2016–17 season.
