Description
The only welsh hall in North America, Cambrian Hall was officially opened on September 1st 1929 by Marion Malkin, wife of Vancouver Mayor William Harold Malkin. During the Depression and the Second World War, the hall remained a welcome home to the Vancouver Welsh Community, largely due to the determination and devotion of members of the society. Throughout the years, the hall has been home to typical Welsh cultural events and has been the focal point for the Welsh community’s contributions to the cultural life of Vancouver. In the 1980s, Cambrian Hall was listed on the Vancouver Heritage Register as a B-listing.
