Doing Business with the PCC

Weddings and Other Rentals at St. Ann’s Academy National Historic Site

The Provincial Capital Commission operates St. Ann’s Academy National Historic Site as a service to the public. Both the historic chapel (built 1858) and auditorium (built 1910) have been painstakingly restored and are popular sites for weddings, concerts and lectures. Some areas of the beautiful grounds are also available for public or private events. For rental information, visit the site at 835 Humboldt Street or visit www.stannsacademy.com or call 250-953-8829.

The Provincial Capital Commission often provides in-kind support through use of its venue sites or staff involvement. Occasionally the PCC provides direct financial support. For more details see Seeking PCC Support.
