After placing second in each of the last two Brier's, Team Ontario, who was skipped by Gordon M. Campbell finally won the Brier Tankard with a round robin record of 6-1. This was Ontario's first ever Brier championship.

New rules were instituted for the 1935 Brier, including a standardized weight for stones (45 pounds), sweeping being restricted between the near hog line and far tee line, and the abandonment of flipping a coin to decide hammer in extra ends.[2]
