About Us
The Beaupre Community Association is a welcoming regional hub, connecting communities through learning, personal growth and social celebration. Led by an elected board of eight volunteers, our membership includes residents from the surrounding area who treasure the spirit of our community and participate in special member events at Beaupre Hall. These events include social gatherings, educational events, fitness programs, retail opportunities and special events for children and families.
Our History
Nestled in the foothills of Rocky View County, Beaupre Hall stands as a landmark commemorating the original school, which was built and named after a prospector who lived in a cabin by the creek. Simply known as "Beaupre," the prospector settled near a trickling creek in the 1800s while searching for gold in the waterbeds.
As the area grew, a one-room schoolhouse, the Beaupre Creek Schoolhouse, was built in 1925 to serve local children in a multi-grade setting. It remained in operation until 1962, when it was closed. The Beaupre Community Association (BCA) then purchased the school, and for a brief time, some locals lived in the building. In 1964, it was renovated into a community gathering space.
In 2001, the hall was destroyed by fire. Determined to rebuild, the community constructed a new 3,100-square-foot hall on the six-acre site, which opened in 2003. Featuring a deck and large windows that showcase breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains, the hall continues to be a vital gathering space, used more than ever by both members and non-members of the Beaupre Community Association.
The Beaupre Community Association (BCA) is led by a group of eight elected volunteers who serve on a Board of Directors, representing a membership that includes residents from both the immediate and surrounding areas.
