The 1960 Diamond "D" Championship, Canadian women's curling championship was an invitational curling tournament held to determine Canada's national women's curling champions that year. It was held on March 25 at the Oshawa Curling rink in Oshawa, Ontario.[1]
The tournament was a best of three series held between the champion teams from Western and Eastern Canada. Team West, skipped by Joyce McKee of Saskatchewan easily won the series, 2 games to none, over the Eastern Canadian champion Ruth Smith rink of Quebec.
The event was held as a forerunner of the first official national championship which would be held the following year.
The event was announced in November 1959, and was sponsored by Dominion Stores Ltd. The winning team was to receive gold brooches with diamonds, while the runner up rink was to receive silver brooches with diamonds.[2]
The event was held immediately after the Eastern Canadian championship, which was held March 22 to 24.
