New Sign

Some of you may have noticed a new sign out in front of the Centre advertising Storm Internet services.

Back in 2020 we reached out to Storm to provide internet service to the Centre for use by the attending public. As part of their community outreach initiative, Storm agreed to supply the service at no charge in return for which we would allow advertising signage on the premises. A small indoor sign was posted right away, but the outdoor sign installation was delayed by COVID. That installation has now been completed.

Having internet access has been critical to many of the functions and activities at the Centre, and we thank Storm Internet for their ongoing support and commitment to community.

Who are we?

The Darling White Lake Centre (DWLC, or "the Centre") is the social hub of the Darling White Lake community.

Located at 236 Cedar Cove Road, the Centre is open to all permanent and seasonal residents of the area and offers many events and activities run by community members for the benefit and enjoyment of their neighbours - Monday afternoon euchre, Thursday morning Coffee Hub, yoga classes, Live and Learn events, visits by healthcare practitioners, special dinners, and monthly breakfasts are but a few examples.

Membership is free, however the Centre operates on a cost-recovery basis so minimal fees apply to each event/activity.

If you want to be included in our Friends of the Centre email list to receive advance notice of upcoming events/activities, just send a note to DarlingWhiteLakeCentre@gmail.com. and we'll add your name to the list. (We promise not to flood your inbox, and you can unsubscribe at any time.)

Come on by; we'd love to meet you.

Rentals

The Darling White Lake Centre is available to rent for special events, meetings, family get-togethers, small commercial activities, and so on. The following facility user fee schedule applies.

Rentals

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.

NOTE: If alcohol is to be served/available at the event, the renter MUST obtain a Special Occasions Permit (here) and provide a copy to the Executive Committee no later than 1 week prior to the event. Failure to do so will result in the reservation being cancelled. Both the approved Rental Application and the SOP must be posted at the Centre during the event.

For a copy of the Rental Application, click here.

Public activities

Community events open to the public, such as dinners, euchre, yoga, coffee hub, etc. are charged $2 per person per event.

These fees are payable to the Darling White Lake Centre by the hall's renter or the event's sponsor.

The Centre is to be left in a clean condition with all interior and exterior elements in the same condition as they were found. Should that not occur additional cleaning and/or damage charges may be levied.
