Pinegrove Community Association was established in 1934 and entered into a 99-year lease agreement with the Provincial Government on November 1, 1964. The original Hall was built in 1936 to 1937 and officially formed on May 19th 1938 and the municipality of Matsqui BC. The lease of about 7 acres of Crown land was negotiated with Pine Grove with the agreement that the land was only to be used for “Park” activities.

The intent of this community club and all others that are scattered over the city of Abbotsford such as Bradner Community Club, Mount Lehman Community Club and Straiten Community Club was to promote social activity and welcome new individuals to the community. The members used the space for a number of different events, including: dances, sporting events, weddings, funerals and all activities pertaining to agriculture. In fact of the seven organizing members six of them were farmers. From 1939 to 1945 the members were involved with the war effort and raised funds for the Lions Club and rotary club projects throughout the community with bursaries and scholarships for local students. In 1968 with the Hall was refurbished and a softball diamond, soccer pitch, pony track and horseshoe pits were built. There was a fire in the back of the hall in 1987 which was unrepairable so the property was sold.

It is our hope through hard work and your support and a little luck that we can bring back this sense of community to the people of Abbotsford which we firmly believe is missing.
