The Harvey Hall continues to serve the community, staying in the hearts and minds of Fundy Albert since 1884. The 2025 season for the hall has begun, and we’re inviting you in – with major new improvements!
Some readers may know that the community hall now sits on a bigger parcel of land, since its Board purchased the neighbouring lot which took hundreds of volunteer hours of archival research, engaging pro bono lawyers, and meeting with local politicians supporting these efforts. We’ve got BIG plans ahead!
Many readers may know about the programs we’ve offered at the hall, such as socially active senior citizen lunch & information sessions, arts and entertainment (including the first live stage play in years), music of every variety, Folk School classes and workshops, and shared meals, music, and laughter with neighbours, friends, and families.

We’re continuing such programming, with BIG plans ahead!
Most readers know that when the Harvey Hall was built in 1884, there was no electricity, no running water, and no bathroom. We’re not sure when electricity was first installed, but it was improved in the 1980s. We’re not sure when the old outhouses were finally demolished, or when the indoor plumbing was first installed, but by the 2020s it was sorely in need of serious improvement. Our BIG plans for that are already in progress!
We’ve employed local contractor, Chris Barrowman, who helped the Harvey Hall team design a fully-accessible two-stall modern bathroom facility. With a generous donation from Moncton’s Bird Stairs construction and plumbing supply, countless hours from Chris and from Harvey Hall volunteer Board member Peter Brzezicki, and ongoing fundraising efforts, the work is advancing rapidly, and is now at the “functional” stage!
Please pardon our dust as we continue to make BIG plans – and make them a reality – for Harvey Hall and the greater community.
