The Cadomin Community Hall officially opened on July 19, 2025 to a group of Cadomin residents, dignitaries, visitors in the hamlet, and families with a historic connection to the hamlet and the Coal Branch region.
The official opening featured a full day of family-friendly events and activities, historical exhibits, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony that drew approximately 300 attendees throughout the day. The celebrations concluded with a dinner and donor recognition event attended by 150 guests. In addition to local residents, several families with historical ties to the hamlet returned to take part in the occasion.
The Cadomin Hall is a new focal point in the hamlet, serving as a facility that will host community events, local groups and meetings, weddings, family reunions, and more. As the hamlet has continued to get busier over the last several years with a mix of full-time residents, part-time locals, and visitors to the area, there was an increased need for a new facility for the community.
“We’re extremely excited to have the new hall up and running and open to the public. Cadomin is a beautiful location, and this hamlet really represents the amazing history of our municipality and the energy of our residents and community members. This hall will be a great hub for the community, and I know it’ll be a great place to host all types of events for generations to come.”
– Wade Williams, Mayor of Yellowhead County
The vision for the hall began to take shape in 2019 with the formation of the Cadomin Community Society. In the years that followed, planning and fundraising efforts gained momentum, and in 2022, funding was secured from the Cadomin Community Society, Yellowhead County, and the Provincial Government, along with additional contributions from industry partners and donations from local property owners.
The new hall features a large event room, a kitchen, a lobby and community room, and a basement that can be used for activities and games. The funding for the hall came from Yellowhead County, as well as the province of Alberta, and donations from several families, businesses, and industries connected to the community.

Several events are already planned and booked for the hall this summer and fall, including an artisan fair and a gravel bike race that will bring in people from beyond the borders of the hamlet and Yellowhead County.
