Milton Curling Club Wins $186,300 Trillium Grant for Safety and Accessibility Upgrades

One of Milton's longest-running community clubs is set for a significant facelift after landing a large provincial grant aimed at making its home safer and easier to use for everyone.

What Happened

The Milton Curling Club has been awarded a $186,300 Capital Grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation to support facility upgrades, according to a report by FM101 Milton Now. The funding was announced by Milton MPP Zee Hamid on Tuesday, July 28.

According to the report, the grant will pay for improvements focused on safety and accessibility, helping ensure the club stays a welcoming space not only for its members but for the broader Milton community that uses it for programs and events. The club described the funding as a way to keep its facility safe, accessible and welcoming for years to come.

Key Details

• The Ontario Trillium Foundation capital grant totals $186,300.

• The funding was announced by Milton MPP Zee Hamid on Tuesday, July 28.

• The money is directed at safety and accessibility improvements at the club's facility.

• The Milton Curling Club is member-owned and has operated in the community since 1964.

• The club offers leagues, learn-to-curl programs and special events open to the community.

Community Impact

The Milton Curling Club has been part of local life for more than six decades, giving residents a place to try the sport, join a league or simply gather through the winter months. Accessibility upgrades matter because they widen the door: features that make a building easier to navigate allow more residents, including older adults and people with mobility needs, to take part in programs and events.

Because the club is member-owned rather than run by the municipality, capital projects like building upgrades often depend on a mix of member support, fundraising and outside grants. A provincial grant of this size can cover work that would otherwise take years of local fundraising, letting volunteers focus on running programs instead. For a facility that also hosts community events, safer and more accessible space benefits far more people than the club's membership alone.

Background

The Ontario Trillium Foundation is a provincial grant-making body that funds community projects across Ontario, including capital work such as facility repairs, safety improvements and accessibility upgrades. Learn-to-curl sessions and recreational leagues have long been an entry point to the sport for newcomers, and clubs like Milton's rely on a steady, usable facility to keep those programs going.

Residents interested in leagues, learn-to-curl programs or upcoming events can contact the Milton Curling Club directly for schedules and registration details.
