“The community is invited to see the new facility and join in the celebration,” a news release from the district stated

“This fun-filled event will provide the community with an opportunity to mix and mingle with neighbours, enjoy live music and refreshments, and play some games! Attendees can also view the facilities and tour the site.”

The new hall has been under construction since February 2022 at the site of the former Women’s Institute Hall next to the Coldstream Cenotaph and the district’s office.

The $5 million structure, which was funded by senior government grants, will provide space for community and private events of up to 200 people, while the child care centre, to be operated by Maven Lane, will create 84 childcare spaces.
