Mission Leisure Centre

Curling has a home in the Mission City neighbourhood of Mission, BC at the Mission Leisure Centre, located at 7650 Grand Street. Curling rinks are fixtures of small-town life across Canada, and this facility carries that tradition for the district, giving residents a place to learn the roaring game, join a league, or cheer from the sidelines. For a community with Mission's roots, an ice centre is as much a social hub as a sports venue.
