Darling White Lake Centre: Welcome to 2024!

Welcome to 2024!

Wait a minute! Wasn't Y2K just a couple of years ago? And it's 2024 already? Yup.

Now here we are, entering the second year after the Centre re-opened following an extended COVID closure.

Many of the old activities are back up and running - Coffee Hub, Knitter-knatter, Yoga, Darts - but some succumbed to the extended shutdown, activities like Euchre, Birthday Breakfasts, and regular Live 'n Learn sessions. As we all work at getting back to pre-COVID 'normal' (whatever that may have been), we're hoping to see some of those return to the Centre this year. You can help support your Centre by coming out and enjoying some of these activities, or perhaps suggesting some new ones that might be of interest to your friends and neighbours. New ideas and volunteers to run them (the Executive Committee can help) are always welcome.

And so the new year begins, and to all of you, we wish a happy and prosperous 2024. See you at the Centre.

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.

For a copy of the Rental Application, click here. To see photos of the main room and kitchen, click here.

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.
