Sarnia Kinsmen Community Centre / VanGaver Dance Studio

The former Sarnia Kinsmen Community Centre building started life in the late 1950's as Oakwood Public Elementary School. It was open until the 1980s, when it was sold back to the city and became headquarters for the Sarnia Kinsmen Club in 1981. In 2016 the city decided against repairing a leaking roof that had caused mold in parts of the building in favor of demo and redevelopment. The current tenants, St. John Ambulance left shortly after and The VanGaver Dance Studio followed suit the next spring. By summer 2017 the building was left abandoned and sat vacant until its demolition in May 2018. Photos from December 2017.
