The Vermilion Elks Hall Society, Lodge No. 131, has anchored community life in Vermilion for a century, with members contributing hundreds of thousands of volunteer hours to minor sports, seniors’ groups, schools, and other local organizations. The Elks have hosted the Vermilion Farmers’ Market for more than fifty years and keep the Elks Hall itself open as a rental venue for weddings, funerals, anniversaries, meetings, fundraisers, and community celebrations. Recent upgrades to the hall have included a new roof, floor replacement, foundation repairs, updated furnishings, a modern sound system, and stage improvements.
MCSnet sponsors a free public Wi-Fi hotspot at the Elks Hall, so renters, market shoppers, and event guests can get online without relying on cell signal. It is one of two MCSnet hotspots in Vermilion, the other being Royal Canadian Legion Branch 11 a short drive away, and both use the same network name and password.
