The 1969 Macdonald Brier , Canada's national men's curling championship was held March 3–7 at the Oshawa Civic Auditorium in Oshawa, Ontario .
The Ron Northcott rink representing Alberta won their third title, having gone undefeated. It was the first time a team had gone undefeated since 1957.[ 2] It was also the 11th title for Alberta. Northcott became the fourth skip to ever win back-to-back Briers joining Gordon Hudson , Matt Baldwin , and Ernie Richardson (twice).
British Columbia were runners-up, with an impressive 9-1 record, which was usually good enough to win. Both Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island tied for third place at 7-3 records. It was tied for the best ever result for PEI, which also finished third the previous year.[ 3]
