2012-The Village of Queen Charlotte is a community set on the south end of Graham Island between the sea and mountains of beautiful Haida Gwaii. This picturesque seaside community offers visitors and residents alike a unique opportunity for outdoor experiences as well as the comfort of many bed and breakfast establishments and a number of local eateries. A friendly, easy going place, Queen Charlotte’s residents are an assortment of loggers, artists, fishers and government employees that welcome newcomers to the community. Residents are known to encourage visitors to join them for coffee and a chat, a walk down the dock, or to attend a special function at the community hall. Located at the centre of town along the water’s edge, Queen Charlotte’s Community Hall is the hub of most major events in town throughout the year.
In 2011, the Queen Charlotte City Community Club secured funding from Northern Development’s Community Halls and Recreation Facilities program to implement significant upgrades at the community hall. The forty year old facility has undergone an integration of its original oil fired furnace system to provide the main hall with efficient heat pumps. Additional upgrades to the hall included new electrical and lighting systems that also helped this facility to be as energy efficient as possible. The club members also primed and painted the hall’s metal siding to give it a fresh new look.
