Lac Cardinal Hall Rental

The Lac Cardinal Hall, built in 1949, is located in the Recreation Lease managed by the M.D. of Peace No. 135 on the eastern shore of Lac Cardinal. The Municipality rents the 60′ × 100′ hall for a variety of functions from May through October, as the hall is not heated during the winter months. For wedding receptions, funerals, dining events, and dances, the maximum occupancy is 250 people.

In 2015, a new 24′ × 26′ kitchen was added to the north end of the hall. The kitchen is equipped with an upright cooler, a six-burner commercial gas range with an oven, three sinks, two chest freezers (one large and one small) and a microwave. In late summer 2025, the kitchen was supplied with pots, pans, utensils, cups, dishes, serving dishes, a 100-cup coffee urn, a 50-cup tea urn, trolley carts, and food totes. Although there are no small appliances, the kitchen offers ample counter space for caterers to prepare food and plenty of cupboard storage. The kitchen may also be rented independently.

The hall features attached bathrooms with hot water and a small raised stage at the north end. In 2016, renovations included updates to the bar, storage areas, and the interior of the hall. In 2017, the bathrooms and front entrance were renovated, making the entrance wheelchair accessible. During the winter of 2025, the hall underwent further renovations: the main hall floor was removed, the ground was levelled to improve airflow beneath the floor, and a new hardwood floor was installed.
