LAKEVIEW COMMUNITY CENTRE
The Lakeview Community Centre is a non-profit society that invites residents of the North Shuswap to join as members with the goal of connecting our community through events, activities, and volunteerism. Located in Anglemont, Lakeview is a gathering place, a social hub, an emergency safe haven, and a place where memories are made. As of 2024, our membership has grown to welcome over 260 individuals, many of whom are dedicated volunteers. We couldn't do it without all their passion and hard work!
The Lakeview Centre, where it stands now, held its grand opening on June 6, 1981. Originally established as the Senior Citizens Association, Branch 112 Anglemont BC in the 1970's, an increase in population and interest in the activities at the Centre encouraged a shift in demographic, allowing all ages to join as members in 2010. Although we have long evolved from being a senior's-only Centre, we thank and honour those who made it possible to gather here today. We've come a long way! We invite you to learn more about the history of our beloved Lakeview Community Centre through some feature articles below and by speaking directly with some of our long-time members.
The Lakeview Community Centre is well known in the Shuswap area for hosting the North Shuswap Players and their sold-out Dinner Theatre productions, putting on great concerts and dances as fundraisers for the Centre, and other annual events such as our Remembrance Day Ceremony, Canada Day Celebration, Christmas Craft Market, and our Monthly Rise & Shine Breakfasts.
Lakeview is currently home to many exclusive clubs and activities including the Carpet Bowling League, Indoor Pickleball Club, Table Tennis Club, Crafts Group, and the North Shuswap Artists. We host members-only events, community workshops and craft nights, and fitness and wellness activities.

As Anglemont residents' involvement at the Centre increased and interest in membership diversified, the Senior Citizens Association, Branch 112 became the Lakeview Community Centre Society in 2010.
2024 BOARD OF DIRECTORS
