The 1983 Pepsi Canadian Junior Women's Curling Championship was held March 12–19, 1983 at the Calgary Curling Club in Calgary, Alberta.[1]

After round robin play, Ontario's Alison Goring rink led the field with an 8–2 record, earning the team a direct spot in the final. Following Ontario, there was a three-way tie for second place between Quebec, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Quebec, who was skipped by Debbie Wark, earned a bye-to the semifinals due to round robin wins over Manitoba and Saskatchewan, while the latter provinces faced off in a tiebreaker to see who would play Quebec.[2] Manitoba won the tiebreaker, but lost to Quebec in the semifinals, earning Quebec the right to play against Ontario in the final.

The Ontario–Quebec final had to be decided by an extra end, with both teams tied at 9 after ten ends. In the extra, Ontario had hammer. On her last stone, Goring attempted a takeout of a Quebec stone. She missed the Quebec stone, but rolled off another Ontario stone, and bounced back for shot rock, giving the team the championship off a fluke shot. It was the first time Ontario won the women's championship, and only the second time a team east of Manitoba won the event.[3]
