Cache Creek’s Community Hall Can Now Host Large Events
Village of Cache Creek
The Cache Creek Community Hall has undergone a major update to it's basement with funding assistance from Northern Development. The project involved building interior walls to form more efficient space for events, storage and offices. Prior to the renovations, there was no space available in Cache Creek to host large groups. And thanks to the renovations the hall, the facility is capable of hosting both larger groups of eighty to one-hundred people, and smaller groups of forty to fifty people by utilizing an operable wall that divides the large meeting room in half.
"The Cache Creek Community Hall is an central facility in our community. By renovating the hall, residents of Cache Creek will be able to host larger events, and continue to enjoy gatherings that take place there for many years to come."
Councillor Darrell Rawcliffe, Chair of the Community Recreation Facilities Committee, Village of Cache CreekPositive Economic Impacts in Cache Creek
By increasing the size and availability of space available for community groups, meetings, training and events, the community hall is able to more effectively accommodate existing and new user groups, and will bring in additional revenue. There will be substantial demand for the new space which will bring in rent revenue on a regular basis. The renovations provided temporary jobs to thirteen people, one permanent part-time position, and one seasonal position, and there is also an indirect benefit to the local hospitality industry since more events are being held in the space.
A community hall is an integral part of any community, and by renovating and increasing the space available, more events can take place there adding to the sense of community in Cache Creek. The hall renovations and additional activities that can be accommodated contribute to a vibrant and active community and assist in attracting new families to the area.

I have a Health and Lifestyle Consulting practice in Ashcroft. I encourage healthy living (have fitness equipment, health/nutrition information etc.) This project will help in the future for health and Wellness events (e.g. healthy living event in Feb 2013 at the hall), and will subsequently encourage Ashcroft to go ahead with wellness events/seminars. This will in turn help raise health awareness in the community. The health of the community and of the individual are linked. I would refer any of my clients to go to the hall if there is any event relating to health/wellness, or am happy to give a free seminar there to raise health awareness, or give free demos of my health equipment such as vibration machines. Thank you from Dr Sen’s Health & Lifestyle Consulting.
