"Prior to the renovation, our much-loved hall was at the point of collapse. The Health Department was no longer able to give us permits to prepare or serve food in our kitchen. This impacted our yearly maintenance budget and threatened both the Annual Rodeo and Music Festival which both bring significant income to the Community Centre Association and the local economy. Our community now has a beautiful hall they are so proud of and that is much in demand for dances and weddings and a new annual event which will be held every fall called the ‘Heart of the Valley Dinner and Auction’."
