And a great time was had by all....

On Tuesday the Centre hosted it's first Shrove Tuesday pancake breakfast since before the COVID pandemic hit in 2020. A busy team of volunteers prepared and served 30 delicious breakfasts to an appreciative audience.

The food:

The volunteers:

The customers:

The supervisors:

As always, these events don't happen without a team of dedicated volunteers. So, a special thank you goes out to Jacqueline Draycott, Brenda Guiney, Nora Hammell, Brian Cairns, Joyce Monette, Karen Cairns, Brian Needham, and others I may have missed. (It's always risky to name individuals in case someone gets forgotten - if I've done so in this case, please accept my apologies.)

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 private (i.e. not open to the public) or commercial 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.

Public activities

Community events that are open to the public, such as dinners, euchre, yoga, coffee hub, general meetings, 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.
