Future vision for Community Hall. |
The vision of a Community Hall in Steelhead has been nurtured in the minds of it's residents for more than a decade. Pioneers in our community fondly remember the days of getting to know their neighbours in the old schoolhouse.
In May 2004, the quasi-defunct Steelhead Association was resurrected and the work began on making that vision a reality.
Progress To Date

- In June 2005 a formal motion was made to pursue a community hall concept;
