Located at the head of Shuswap Lake, the Seymour Arm Community Hall serves as a community hub for one of the most remote communities in the Shuswap. It was built in 1971 for community functions, on land donated by the Daniels family.
It briefly served as a school in the 80’s and 90’s. The last teacher loved Seymour Arm so much that when the school closed, he stayed as a full-time resident!
The hall is maintained by the Seymour Arm Community Association (SACA), which acts as the de facto local government for the remote community. While the hall itself is a relatively new addition, it stands on the shoulders of a remarkable past.
The Seymour Arm area was once a 5,000-person Gold Rush boomtown called Ogden City that was destroyed by fire in the 1860s, later revived by English developers, and eventually became a ghost town (twice) before the land saw a new chapter begin in the 60’s.
The hall's very existence represents community resilience and a fascinating, if unconventional, local legacy.
