Community Centre Calendar
Check what's available at the Large Banquet Room, Small Banquet Room and Games Room, then request your booking.
The Community Centre
The Large and Small Banquet Rooms share a kitchen in the middle, so a big event books the whole facility while a smaller one books a single room. Bookings are open to the public: the person organizing an event doesn't need to live in Shuswap Lake Estates, though most events are aimed at our residents. Regular groups include the River of Life Church, fitness classes, a quilters' group, Lego Club, a youth group and a playgroup for babies and toddlers.
A separate Games Room hosts the billiards club, bridge club and euchre club several days a week through fall and winter, plus occasional meetings.

How to Read the Calendar
Two tabs: Banquet Rooms and Games Room. Each room has its own colour, and a Whole Facility booking shows on both Banquet Room views at once, since it takes over the entire space.
Bookings show as the group name, e.g. "Billiards Club", or simply "Booked" for private bookings, in morning, afternoon or evening blocks. Some bookings are shorter, about 2 hours: click any booking to see its exact time in the event description. Switch to month view to scan open dates further out. If the calendar isn't loading, call 250.675.2523.

Can I book the Community Centre if I don't live in Shuswap Lake Estates?
Yes. The Community Centre is open to the public, so the person organizing an event doesn't need to live in Shuswap Lake Estates. Most events are aimed at our residents, and the office can talk you through current pricing when you call.
What's the capacity of each room?
The Large Banquet Room seats up to 265 people with chairs only, or 160 to 192 with tables. The Small Banquet Room seats 80 with tables.
