Darling White Lake Centre: "We had such a great time"

Friday, October 14, 2022

"We had such a great time"

"It was [an] absolutely perfect spot…. Well organized kitchen to warm food, wonderful dining space so no one was crowded, we had an appetizer table as well and the buffet tables…. Then after everyone enjoyed the picnic tables and some sun!"

The quotes above are from a local resident who rented the Centre for their family's Thanksgiving dinner. Feeding 20 adults will stretch the capabilities of anyone's home, so why not take advantage of the well-equipped kitchen and wide open dining spaces at the Darling White Lake Centre? The cost is reasonable* and all we ask is that you respect the space and leave it in the same condition you found it - not unlike you're own home after hosting a large get-together.

__________________________

* For events not requiring the use of the kitchen, the fee is $65 per calendar day (or part). The rental fee is $100 per calendar day (or part) if the kitchen facilities will be used in support of the event. For any event expecting more than 60 attendees the rental fee will be determined on a case-by-case basis. In all cases, prior approval of the Executive Committee is required for any rentals.
