Planning begins for recreation hall in Coldstream

The District of Coldstream is looking at enhancing recreation and that could include a recreational hall.

Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick addressed nearly 100 people at the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce Local Leaders’ Lunch on Wednesday.

Garlick said they hope to transform the old Coldstream Woman’s Institute and the adjacent lot into a community hall in the very near future.

“We have purchased land up at Coldstream School, we have bought the hall which was called the Women’s Institute Hall at one time, we bought the adjourning lot as well and we are looking at rebuilding that hall into a community hall,” he said.
