MAIN ATTRACTIONS - ACADIA HALL >> 

 

Acadia Hall was built in 1924 when a group of community members decided that a community hall was needed. The Acadia Club, which was formed in 1920, held a meeting in April of 1924 in the Old Temperance Hall and with the Sackville community firmly behind them, project plans were put into place. Land was acquired from Arthur Schultz, on what is now 650 Sackville Drive, in order to house the new facility.

Because of lack of readily available funds, club members went from door to door to acquire donations of materials, while others provided the labour in order to build the hall.  

During its early years, Acadia Hall was used as a meeting place for the community, a school auditorium, a community picnic site or used to hold church suppers. It has been host to many wedding receptions as well as serving as the only polling station in Sackville in early years. Over the years, Acadia Hall has become a "village land mark" that is still central to many community events.

Throughout the years the Club operated as Sackville's oldest non-profit organization. A Board of Directors, elected within its membership each year, now operates it and the facility is available to rent for many community functions at 488-8070.
