The 2017 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the provincial women's curling championship for Southern Ontario, was held January 30 to February 5 at the Cobourg Community Centre in Cobourg, Ontario. The winning Rachel Homan rink represented Ontario at the 2017 Scotties Tournament of Hearts on home ice in St. Catharines, Ontario. Homan went on to win her third Scotties Tournament of Hearts, defeating Manitoba's Michelle Englot in the final.

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.

Qualifying for the provincial Scotties changed again for 2017. Eight teams will qualify from two regional qualifiers (two each) and a challenge round. The top two southern Ontario teams in the CTRS standings (as of December 4[4]) also qualified.[5]
