The Scotties Tournament of Hearts Sportsmanship Award is presented to the curler who best embodies the spirit of curling at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The winner was selected in a vote by all players at the tournament.
Prior to 1998, the award was named after a notable individual in the curling community where the tournament was held that year. For this edition, the award was named after Jo Wallace, a builder in women's curling as she helped organize the "Nifty Fifty" league, the forerunner to the Ontario Senior Ladies Curling Championship and also served as both the vice-president and president of the Canadian Ladies Curling Association.[9]
