1974 Macdonald Lassies Championship

The 1974 Canadian Ladies Curling Championship, known as the Macdonald Lassie for sponsorship reasons, Canada's national women's curling championship was held February 24-28, 1974 at the Victoria Memorial Arena in Victoria, British Columbia.[1]

The Emily Farnham rink, representing Saskatchewan won the event, the sixth straight title for that province. Saskatchewan went undefeated through the tournament, and clinched the title after the eighth draw, as no other team could catch up to them. The event capped a stellar season for the team, which won 120 out of 122 games, with one of their two losses coming against a men's team.[2] It would be the only national championship appearance for Farnham.

The attendance for the week was 25,024.[3]
