Book event space

Situated on a beautiful 3-acre waterfront property, the 10,000 square foot Centre shares this provincial and national historic site with Craigflower Manor, the oldest Scottish-built farmhouse in British Columbia. While the architecture of the Centre is contemporary, formal and material inspiration was drawn from historic Scottish structures such as stone barns and shelters, which led to a palette of natural and durable materials, (stone, wood and glass), that respectfully relate to the heritage of the site and quite literally ground the new building.

The circular, one-storey Centre features a 4,500 square foot main hall with a unique Celtic Knot beam ceiling and full sprung hardwood dance floor. Supporting rooms include; coat check, lounge and reception area, green room with private washroom, boardroom and commercial kitchen. A built-in 16 foot wide viewing screen in the main hall ceiling with laser projector highlights the audio visual technology found throughout the Centre. Onsite parking for up to 55 vehicles is available.
