The Community Centre is also home to the District-sponsored Youth Centre. A safe place for young people in grades 5-12 to interact with friendly peers, the Youth Centre is open Tuesday through Saturday, afternoons and evenings, for games of pool, foosball or to just kick back and hang out. Inside the Youth Centre there is a rock climbing wall which is also available to be rented out to the public.

The Community Centre is home to the Tumbler Ridge Museum displays exploring local natural and human history. You will find a historical map collection (including the 1906 first known map of the area), the town’s coal-mining beginnings, early dinosaur discoveries, and photos of hardy pioneers such as Samuel Prescott Fay, Prentiss Gray and more. Visitors can also view a major retrospective on the construction of the Monkman Pass Highway in the late 1930s.
