The Gaspereau Community Centre, like many halls across the province, has been the site of many events and celebrations over the years.It was disappointing to hear that the popular Sheffield Mills Eagle Watch weekend was cancelled for another year due to Avian flu. Understandable of course, but disappointing for those that also fancied the traditional breakfast in the old Sheffield Mills school hall.
It’s on the ample side with an upstairs hall and stage. Steep stairs lead upward to a space that has had a myriad of uses. Eagles and nature lore were the focus when we visited. Lately, since life is returning to some normalcy, I’ve found myself at several local community centres that started out as school houses. There was, for example, Kara Friesen’s Let’s Talk Food event at the tiny North Alton hall.
The Gaspereau Community Centre is another frequent concert venue and party rental. My first memory of that solid white frame building was in 1980 when the village held an inaugural supper named for the bony little fish that were swimming up river that May — and every May. The meal didn’t exactly catch on, but it was a memorable local food celebration.
After public education was mandated in Nova Scotia in 1864, communities of all sizes had to step up and build schools. Many communities, who had already invested in these buildings, continued to use and maintain the old school structures. Election voting and baby showers had a venue. Centennial grants in 1967 helped out in the preservation. I think new grants would be helpful.
