Thank You for Lighting Up Gleneden Hall
|
The old, costly, and inefficient incandescent and fluorescent lights in the auditorium have been replaced with high-efficiency, more environmentally friendly, dimmable LED lights.
A heartfelt thank-you to Jake Jacobson and the Shuswap Society for the Arts and Culture for their generous donation toward the new lights. We also extend our sincere thanks to Jerry, Harold, and Jake for their time and hands-on help with the installation. This thoughtful upgrade will greatly enhance the hall for community events and gatherings. |

We Hit Water! 💧
Thanks to the incredible support from the SHUSWAP COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, our community hall successfully drilled and struck water on October 8th! This milestone brings us one step closer to clean, reliable water on-site. Our next goal is upgrading the electrical panel to bring the new well fully to life. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who made this possible — your generosity is making a lasting impact in our community.

Progress Update: Gleneden Hall Well Project 💧
Exciting news — progress is flowing at Gleneden Hall! The new water line and electrical cable have now been installed and the well equipped with a brand-new 40 L/m (10 GPM) pump.
A huge shout-out to Jerry and Jake for their tireless efforts (and way too much hand digging — thanks to those unmarked old lines!). And of course, thanks to Coleen for moral support and shovel-holding duties when needed!
The weather mostly cooperated, and with a little luck, we’ll have the pump up and running by November 5th. with a sufficient flow to handle the Hall’s needs. Once it is tested we will know what sort of treatment, if any, will be needed.
Once backfilling is complete, we’ll also gain additional parking space — another great step forward in our hall renovation project.
Stay tuned for more updates as Gleneden Hall continues to grow and improve, thanks to the hard work and community spirit of our amazing volunteers.

Update:
Community Potluck & Coffehouse - Oct. 18
|
|
The Community Potluck brought together good food, great conversation, and a delicious mix of dishes and desserts. What a joy to share a meal and laughter with so many friendly faces! The Open Mic Coffeehouse that followed was pure magic — a full house, candlelight glow, and an amazing lineup of local talent that had everyone smiling, tapping, and singing along. |
About Us
The Gleneden Association was established in the late 1920’s by the Finnish Settlers of the area. Built in 1929, the original Hall was a log building and has a rich history of serving the community. Destroyed in the Eden fire of 1973, its immense purpose was recognized and so it was lovingly rebuilt by community members. Please visit our 'History' page for more detailed information about the Gleneden Hall's adventurous past.
Throughout the decades the Hall has hosted many events such as dances, music performances, open mic coffee houses, various classes, club meetings, flea markets, 4-H events, weddings, funerals, celebrations of life gatherings and sports events such as pickle ball.
The Gleneden Hall is available for rent and as such the perfect 'empty canvas' for your dream events, may it be a special celebration with friends and family, or the venue to share your talents with the community.
It is the hope of the current Board of Directors to do some major renovations to the 50-year-old building and have a grand celebration for the Association's 100th Anniversary in 2029.
If you would like to help out and be part of the renovations committee, or join the Board, please contact the President, Joan Jacobs at 250-832-0161
