Perth Civitan Hall
           

Located just outside of Perth, on County Road #43 towards Smiths Falls, the Perth Civitan Hall has played an important role in the Perth community for many years.  The hall is 2,400 square feet in area and features full kichen and bar facilities. We have recently completed a number of building updates and now have a state of the art audio visual system in place.

Since its completion in 1979 the Perth Civitan Hall has been the site of many engagement parties, wedding receptions, anniversary parties as well as other various functions.  Many of these functions, such as Yuk Yuk's Comedy Nights, Meatball Madness Nights, New Year's Eve Parties and so on, have been Civitan sponsored.   The Perth Civitan Hall is available for rentals, on a first come, first served basis throughout the year.  Advanced booking, sometimes up to a year in advance, is required.

Monday evenings are reserved for meetings of the Perth Junior Civitan Club, Tuesday evenings are used for meetings of the Civitan Club of Perth and Wednesday nights are currently utilized for bingo.

In January of 1998, during what has become known as Ice Storm '98, the Civitan Club of Perth opened the doors of the hall, twenty four hours a day for twelve days, to accommodate the people of Lanark County who were displaced from their homes or who had no way of cooking a hot meal for themselves.  Since the Perth Civitan Hall was part of the blackout area, the military supplied us with a 30 kilowatt generator in order to maintain our power supply.  One hundred cots were obtained through the graces of the Town of Perth and large quantities of food and other necessary supplies were donated to us by many businesses and individuals from the area.  Civitan volunteers provided hot meals, hot drinks, accommodations and stimulating conversation to approximately 5,000 persons over the course of the twelve days.  The shelter remained open for as long as was required to assist in the relief effort.  The Civitan Club of Perth is extremely proud to have been able to provide this service to our community.
