Community Hall Project

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

At this time, we have made tremendous progress. We have:

• In June 2005 a formal motion was made to pursue a community hall concept;
• The Steelhead Community Association was reincorporated in August 2005;
• Community Hall concept formally presented to District of Mission Council in November 2005 by SCA board members and was provided a letter of support from the District;
• Surveys, environmental engineering, septic engineering, site surveys, drawings, and plans – January to April 2006;
• Septic field approval in October 2006;
• Land Use Agreement executed with District of Mission in November 2006, granting 50 year lease of $1 per year for municipally-owned property at 32972 Cardinal Street;
• $25,000 BC Hydro Grant awarded in August 2006;
• $100,000 BC Gaming Commission Major Capital Grant awarded in March 2007;
• $8,000 District of Mission Community Grant awarded in May 2007;
