The Lac Marois Country Club came into being in 1929, as a means to fulfill more than spiritual needs, and requested the church grant them the right to build a clubhouse on church property.
The Union Church owns the property and leases the land to the Interlake Youth Club, the parent company of the Lac Marois Country Club.
