Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts

The Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts is a multifaceted facility located in Canada, designed to accommodate a wide range of events and activities. It serves as a hub for cultural and community gatherings, offering spaces suitable for weddings, performances, conferences, workshops, sports awards banquets, meetings, trade shows, birthdays, company parties, milestone anniversaries, film screenings, and more. The Centre's versatility makes it an ideal venue for both intimate gatherings and larger groups, boasting an array of event spaces that cater to diverse needs. The Dekker Centre is not only a place for events but also a community center where families and individuals can enjoy various recreational activities. For instance, while one member of a family attends a meeting at the Dekker Centre, others can spend their time at the Co-op Aquatic Centre located just across the Plaza. The Centre encourages team-building activities, such as curling bonspiels at the nearby Northland Power Curling Centre, and promotes fitness and wellness with facilities like the indoor track at the Northwest Field House. In the evening, guests can experience live entertainment, including performances by some of Canada's finest talent, in the Centre's modern theatre. The Dekker Centre is named after prominent spaces within the facility, including the Lawrence Hall, the Evelyn Ulmer Atrium, and the Gordon Tootoosis Theatre, which add to the Centre's cultural significance and honor individuals who have contributed to its development. For those interested in planning an event at the Dekker Centre, Kali Weber serves as a point of contact, providing information and assistance with bookings and inquiries. The Centre is also actively involved with the community, offering volunteer opportunities, contests, and a student volunteer program, demonstrating its commitment to fostering community engagement and support. The Dekker Centre for the Performing Arts is not only a venue for events but also a pillar of the community, providing spaces that encourage cultural, recreational, and social activities, thereby enriching the lives of those it serves.
