A Place to Gather
A Space to Inspire

Established in 1890, this building has long been a center of the neighbourhood, serving generations of gatherings, celebrations, and community events. Once home to the East End Ukrainian Prosvita, it has played a vital role in Thunder Bay’s cultural and social landscape.

In 2024, Ingaged Creative Productions (Ingaged) undertook a full-scale renovation to revitalize the space while preserving its historical significance. Today, The Outset blends modern design with deep community roots, creating an adaptable, aspiring, and service-informed space.
