In 1929, Beausejour built a one-sheet curling rink and a club was established in 1930. Four years later, the facility was upgraded to two sheets. As the popularity of the game increased, it was decided to build a four-sheet facility which opened officially in January 1961. The following year, artificial ice was installed. In 1986, the club was destroyed by fire. The club built a new six-sheet facility which opened in 1987 and forms part of the Beausejour Sportsplex.
