History

The Marion Bridge and Area Community Council was formerly known as the Marion Bridge Recreation Association, established in May 1975.
One of their initial projects was to have the rink area behind the Marion Bridge Fire Hall paved and the surrounding boards repaired. Next on their agenda was to construct a community hall. The official sod turning took place in December 1975 with construction getting underway the following spring. The Hall was a welcome addition to our growing community. The federal, provincial, and municipal governments provided funding/in-kind support, and many local tradespeople and labourers were involved with the construction. Fund raisers helped to offset costs—dances, concerts, ticket draws, and a litter-a-thon, to name a few. Since then, there were several additions and renovations – the stage was added, washroom upgrades, a side access area was constructed, sound improvements, and most recently, the kitchen renovation.
