Welcome to the Association of Rural Community Halls, otherwise known as ARCH. ARCH is a non-profit organization that works to support community halls from across Prince Edward Island for the betterment of their communities’.

We do a lot here at ARCH!

  • Create and send specially designed resources to all PEI halls (such as event management, volunteer recruitment, obtaining liquor and gambling licenses, etc.).
  • Help islanders contact and book with halls for their planned gatherings.
  • Provide easy-to-access navigation information so tourists and islanders alike can find and attend hall events.
  • Assist in the promotion of all PEI hall events via social media, newspaper, radio, posters etc..
  • Research grant and funding opportunities available to halls as a non-profit community organization.
  • and lots more!

As such, there is a lot to discover here at archpei.com, whether you run a hall or not!

Our affectionately dubbed “Hall People” can find all ARCH created resources, archives of previous mailing list emails and the meeting notes from our Annual General Meetings on this website. 

While community members, tourists and islanders alike can find a list of over 90 PEI halls with addresses and ways to contact each by looking under the “Our Members” or “PEI Halls” menu tab. ARCH makes it easy for everyone to find, book and attend events held at community halls!


And, as always, as islanders we are happy for a chat anytime! Please feel free to email us peihalls@gmail.com or by calling our head office located in the Milton Community Hall at (902) 566-3154.
