2015 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts

The 2015 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the provincial women's curling championship for Southern Ontario, was held January 19 to 25 at the Penetanguishene Curling Club in Penetanguishene, Ontario. The winning Julie Hastings team represented Ontario at the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.

The event marked the first tournament to exclude teams from Northern Ontario, which began to have its own entry into the Scotties, the 2015 Northern Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

Qualification Process
Due to the exclusion of Northern Ontario, qualifying for the provincial Scotties changed for 2015. Ten teams still qualify for the provincial tournament; two teams qualified from each of the four Ontario Curling Association regions, one team qualified from a second-chance Challenge Round, while the defending champion team (Allison Flaxey rink) automatically qualified.

The defending two-time national Scotties champion Rachel Homan rink once again did not participate in the qualification process, as her team won the 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts and therefore continued to represent Team Canada at the 2015 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
