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.
