 Hurdville Community Hall, originally a schoolhouse, the building has become our community centre. Hurdville is a small, proud hamlet located on the south side of Manitouwabing Lake.  We are north of the cross roads of McDougall and Hurdville Roads.   We host many events here and want to encourage everyone to come and enjoy themselves. Check our "Upcoming events" and "Past Events" for more information.   We always welcome new members to the club and have many opportunities to volunteer.   If you'd like to get really involved, you can join our board of directors and make a difference.  Any questions please contact us at .....  hurdvillehall@gmail.com or check us out on

The building served as a schoolhouse for more than 60 years before being taken over by the community.  A former one-room schoolhouse turned community hub is seeking funds for critical improvements to prolong the lifespan of the building.

Nestled on top of rock overlooking Manitouwabing Lake, a log schoolhouse was built in 1872.  The current building still features the original rock foundation and wood siding from 1898 when the building was constructed to replace the former log construction. The schoolhouse remained in operation from 1898 until it closed in 1962. More than 10 years after the school's closure, the building was put into the hands of the community and later renamed the Hurdville Comunity Hall in 1993.  Former students, like Fern Harris and older sister Joyce Michaelis, remained in the community and are ever present at Hurdville Community Club  and in keeping the building going.  Board members hope the community will come together once again to help with some major renovations. Top of the wish list was a drilled well. This was completed in 2024. Next on the list was foundation repairs, which were completed in 2025. Next on the list is siding.  Also, we are hoping for the funds for indoor washrooms, kitchen equipment and hydro upgrades.  Over time, the club has managed to raise close to $10,000  from fundraising efforts, like Friday night euchre, pancake breakfasts, yard sales and bottle drives.  We have a member that started a:  "GoFundMe" account. Everyone is welcome to support the hall by  becoming a member and/or attending the events offered and show your love and support for this community hall.
