This is a beautiful building and the surrounding area. When we go there, part of the building is under a demolish. We can't go through there. But it is so pretty in the area for the fall colours, many people come here for the fall colours.

I was able to catch the spooky silent film, ‘Faust’ at the Shadbolt this October. Currently, there is quite a bit of construction going on in their main parking lot to build onto the existing centre. There is additional free parking under the building on the East side with an elevator that takes you right up to the main floor. Their silent film series is paired with a live score of various musicians. For ‘Faust’, we were treated to the magical sounds of Griefwalker. The soundscape was clearly well written and thoughtful to the plot of the movie. The theater itself is small and has decent acoustics. I always bring a pair of high fidelity ear plugs as I have sensitive ears (even for movie theaters!), but the band provided ear plugs as well. Fabulous show. Can’t wait to go back!

I fell in love with that place! It provides you with some good positive energy! It’s warm, cozy & embracing. It’s a favourite picnic spot to many, haven’t tried yet, but will soon. The place hosts children's dance classes, music recitals, and live theatre productions. It also has a cafe with hot food and a variety of sweet treats. A great place to take a little rest while walking around dear lake.
