Built in the late 1800s, Rossland Miners Union Hall functions as the city’s arts centre and community hall–but, as one of the province’s oldest miners union halls, the space needs some additional care. The City of Rossland, in partnership with the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture and Heritage BC, has received support from the Trust and Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance to significantly renovate and restore the hall. Upgrades include detailed preservation work to the building’s facade, a new roof, fresh paint, upgrades to the fire and safety systems and conversion of the large attic into community space.
