Besides being a hub of meetings and social occasions, Manson’s Hall houses several non-profit organizations and services within its walls. When you wander through its corridors, you’ll find that the Hall is bustling with people who work and volunteer to provide you with community services and programming.
Manson’s Hall is operated by the Southern Cortes Community Association. The SCCA leases space to: Canada Post Office, Cortes Community Radio, Cortes Island Pottery Guild, Reel Youth, the Thrift Store, Friends of Cortes Island, Cortes Island Food Bank, Mark Vonesch Regional Director, and the Cortes Island Women’s Centre.
Manson’s Hall has provided space for many services to start small and grow. The Cortes Health Centre, North Island College and Coastal Community Credit Union all began in Manson’s Hall. As our community profile changes, and bigger spaces are needed, so will the face of Manson’s Hall. But the spirit of community and cooperation will live on!
