Richmond Under Construction: New roof for historic South Arm hall

A new roof and other renos for South Arm Community Hall are costing the city $615,000.

Amid the busy summer season at South Arm park, pool and community centre, one building is under wraps as it undergoes renovations for the second time in two years.

Mechanical renovations were done last year to the South Arm Community Hall to the tune of almost $100,000.

This year, the hall is getting a new roof, gutters and downspouts, which will cost the city about $615,000.

Construction began in early August and is expected to be completed by mid-October.

The hall is open, however, during renovations.

South Arm Community Hall was opened in 1966, built by the South Arm Community Association, and includes a banquet hall with a stage.

The outdoor pool was built in 1972, and the adjacent South Arm Community Centre was built in 1985.
