The Club 5 Ash at Pine Rd

The Sports Club

For over fifty years the Victoria Beach Sports club has been a place of community. Where children have grown up and adults have enjoyed each other's company. The numerous activities and events hosted by the club and its many volunteers has helped to kindle a sense of belonging to the many people in the area. The drawing area of the Sports Club is much larger than the Rural Municipality of Victoria Beach. The club draws in people from Albert Beach, Hillside Beach, Traverse Bay, Belair even as far as Grand Marais and Powerview-Pine Falls.


Building the New Community Centre

Construction of the new centre will be in four phases. Phase I included building the Toboggan hill, Skating Rink and Warm-up shelter.

The rink was completed in December 2010 and was well used in the New Year's Eve festivities. Following New Year's it continued to get a lot of use until the ice melted.

Phase II

This is the largest and most expensive phase. The following is the proposed schedule.

The Ice Plant has thrown in the towel. We knew it was on its last legs but hoped we could run a couple of bonspiels.
