Glen Valley Hall was built between 1912-1913 at 27220 91A Avenue. The land for the hall was donated. Tom Leaf, who was around 15 years old at the time, was one of a small group of volunteers from the community that helped to build it. In the late 1920’s it was used for a couple of years as a school but due to lack of insulation it was said to be very cold in the winter. There were many updates and additions done to the building over the years. In 1948 the building was submerged in flood waters and more repairs were needed to be done at that time, unfortunately all the updates and repairs were done without consideration of original materials.

The building was managed by the Glen Valley Hall Society and was remembered for its weekly dances, social interactions, and a community meeting place up until around the mid 1980’s when the society folded, and the place fell into a state of disrepair. It served as storage for a neighboring property for many years. A report dated August 2014 showed that it was recommended to be sold and that the building had no heritage or historic value.
