The 1995 Unitel Canadian Mixed Curling Championship was held January 7-15 at the Sarnia Golf & Curling Club in Point Edward, Ontario.[1]

Nova Scotia, skipped by Steve Ogden defeated Prince Edward Island, skipped by Peter MacDonald in the final. It was the province's second national mixed championship in three years.[2] Ogden had to raise a rock to the four foot in the 10th and final end to claim a 6-5 victory. Ogden's rink also consisted of Mary Mattatall, Jeff Hopkins and Heather Hopkins.[3]

For the first time, the final was televised nationally on TSN.[4][5] After inking a 5-year agreement worth over $1,000,000,[4] the tournament was sponsored by Unitel for the first time, was the first event of the new "Season of Champions" group of televised curling tournaments put on by the Canadian Curling Association. The event was also moved up the calendar year from March.[1]
