YOUBOU LANES HISTORY
The Anniversary Dance sponsored by the Hall Board,
held in the Community Hall on Saturday, July 14, 1951,
marked the official opening of the four-lane bowling
alley occupying the ground floor of the new addition to
the hall.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES
Party Option 1
Two lanes for one hour of bowling and one hour of cake
time. We supply bowling shoes, a hot dog, juice, and
chips for each child. Extra food will be sold at regular
concession prices. We set up, clean up, and decorate.
You bring the cake and goodie bags. Insurance is not
required. Our Bowling Alley Coordinator will be on site
and have care and control of the facility. Pinsetters will
be provided.
The Hall Board of the Youbou Welfare Association
donated $2,700 towards the building of the lanes and
British Columbia Forest Products made a donation of
$4,700 in the interests of providing healthy sports for
its employees and their families. The lanes were built
in eastern Canada and shipped to Youbou where they
were reassembled.
Today, Youbou Lanes still has the same wooden
lanes with human pinsetters and offers five-pin, tenpin, and cosmic bowling. We have league bowling
and open bowling. The facility can also be rented for
private functions and is a licensed facility. The historic
lanes have been featured in The National Post and on
television. They are the only sanctioned handset lanes
in Canada.
Youbou Lanes is also the unofficial museum for the
Youbou area and hosts a variety of memorabilia
including pictures and newspaper clippings. It is well
worth a stop!
Cost:
$115.50 / 10 people
(+$12.60 / additional person)
Party Option 2
This option features everything outlined in Party Option
1, but includes the use of four lanes instead of two.
Cost:$147.00 / 11 - 20 people
