CELGAR PAVILION

City of Castlegar, B.C.

Completed in September 2015 the Celgar Pavilion was

constructed in partnership with the Castlegar Rotary

Club, Columbia Basin Trust, Zellstoff Celgar and the

City of Castlegar. Located at the Millennium Park

and Natural Swimming Ponds, the Pavilion houses a

concession area, washrooms and covered picnic site

allowing for community groups, families and private

parties to rent the facility for special events.

The front section is an open pavilion area built with

post-and-beam construction and the back section is a

fully equipped concession area built with spilt-faced

concrete blocks. All of the wood was sourced locally

from Gold Island Forest Products and the trees were

harvested from the Sproule Creek area, south of Nelson

B.C. Fir decking, posts, beams and rafters together

with pine soffits and red cedar shakes in the project

showcase the natural beauty of the wood project.
