Our Story
The building is a replica of the original aviation hangar constructed on this site in the mid 1930s. Pioneer pilot Capt. Douglas Fraser, with his plane the Fox Moth, used this building as home base for his meteorological flights gathering data for the first commercial trans-Atlantic flights in the “flying boats”.
The rebuilt multi-purpose facility includes two sound stages - one for solo/duo performances, one for larger groups with a capacity ranging from 70 to 150 people while offering one of the highest quality sound and acoustics venues in Central Newfoundland and Labrador.
