Millet's first curling rink was built in 1925. It had one sheet of ice and had windows covered with gunney sacks. An open air skating rink was built beside it and both were situated where the Community Hall is now, the southwest corner of the intersection of 50th Avenue and 51st Street (2004).
In 1933 land owned by J.P. Clark at the north end of Millet was purchased by the Curling Club (now the site of the kiosk park, next to the Town of Millet Administration Building, 2004). With volunteer help and borrowed money, the rink was completed that fall. Within three years, the curling rink and the skating rink adjacent to it on the west side, were paid for. The Curling Rink was used until 1968 when a severe windstorm caused the roof to collapse.
In 1975, the present curling rink was built. It is located on the north side of 50th Avenue, east of the Legion Hall.
