Millie Gamble

Millie Gamble (1887–1986) was an amateur photographer from Prince Edward Island, Canada. Her photographs from 1905 to 1920 record life in the Tyron area.

She worked as a school teacher in North Bedeque from 1905 to 1906 and in Tryon from 1907 to 1919 before leaving for Winnipeg to study nursing. After graduating from the Winnipeg General Hospital in 1922 she returned to Prince Edward Island where she worked as a nurse in Tyron until retiring in 1949.

Gamble was given a Ray No. 1 camera in 1904 while visiting her uncle in Truro, Nova Scotia.

In 2016 a portion of the former Trans-Canada Highway in Tyron was renamed Millie Gamble Road.
