Project Overview

For decades, the Golata Creek Community Hall has been a part of our community, first as a school (since 1958!) and later as a place to connect after the PRRD acquired it in 1986.

Unfortunately, a recent assessment in 2021 revealed some serious structural problems with the hall – so much so that fixing it would cost more than starting fresh. For safety reasons, the PRRD Board closed the hall in 2022.

Now, the Regional Board has made a key decision: it's time to explore what's next for this important community space. They've approved tearing down the old hall and, more importantly, want to hear from you about the possibilities!

We're looking at a few options:

• Building a brand-new community hall: Imagine a modern space tailored to our needs!
• Creating vibrant community recreation grounds: Think outdoor activities and green spaces for everyone.
• Maintaining the land: Even keeping it as open space is an option on the table.

Early conversations with the Golata Creek Community Association have already sparked some great ideas and questions about what our community truly needs and can support.

Building a new hall could cost around $1.5 million for a 3,100 sq ft space, and that number is likely to adjust with updated building codes.

This is your chance to shape the future of our community's gathering place! Stay tuned for opportunities to share your thoughts and help us decide what comes next for the Golata Creek area.
