The Qualicum Beach Community Hall is an important example of an early community-driven building project. Currently owned and operated by the Town of Qualicum Beach, it was built with funds raised in the community by the sale of shares and with volunteer labour.
Built in 1933, the Hall is an excellent example of a large, utilitarian structure purpose-built for community sporting and social events. A curling rink was added at the rear of the building in 1964. The architecture is uncomplicated with minimal detailing. Although the building has recently undergone a facade renovation, original elements were retained and the building remains substantially intact.
The Community Hall is significant for its association with local designer and builder Simon Muir Little. A trained naval architect, Little is best known for St. Andrew’s Lodge in Qualicum Beach. He also built numerous schools, churches and houses in the area and designed the original town and fire halls. Little also designed the official town crest.
Developed in the mid-20th century, the Hall has historical value as a community gathering place and continues to serve Qualicum Beach today.
