Victoria Historic Schoolhouse
Our Historic Schoolhouse, located at 730 Victoria Road and home to the offices of the Municipality and the Victoria Playhouse, was fully renovated and winterized in 2018.
The front room is a large and beautiful, sunlight-filled space with a smooth wood floor, containing displays curated by the Victoria Historical Association. The multi-functional space has hosted dance classes, meetings and conventions, training events, parties, theatre rehearsals, cultural events, weddings and more!
