This building, built in 1905 as the head office of the Crows Nest Pass Coal Company, now serves as the city hall building in the city of Fernie, British Columbia. This building and grounds appear many times in the movie Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups (2012) as the City Hall of Pineville USA. It is prominently featured at both the beginning and end of movie, when happy townsfolk march together to the City Hall to celebrate Christmas together.

In the scene below, the Mayor of Pineville USA can be seen pointing at the tree just after it is lit up, and he is surrounded by the people of Pineville, still full of Christmas cheer:

And in this scene, near the end of the move, we see Mrs Clause and the Santa Pups departing Pineville in the sleigh (pulled by magic reindeer of course), once again with the citizens of Pineville gathered around at City Hall :

And in this scene, Eli and Eddy (two of Santa's head elf's) drive past the Pineville City Hall in their delivery truck (which has been disguised to look like an ice cream truck)

And here are two images of the Fernie City Hall building, which I took on June 21, 2015.

A plot summary of Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups
When Mrs. Claus travels to Pineville, the playful Santa Pups stow away on her sled. Taking mischief to a whole new level, they begin granting joyful wishes to Pineville's boys and girls, but after a furious young boy named Carter wishes for the Christmas spirit to disappear, it affects all of the people in town. Mrs. Claus, Carter, Sarah, the pups, and three sisters named Agnes, Dorothy and Blue that Mrs. Claus met try to bring the Christmas spirit back forever. They do this by airing on the radio and convincing everyone to act like normal. Carter wishes for the Christmas spirit to last forever all over the world. The pups are then able to reverse the wish. Pineville was filmed in Fernie, British Columbia. (source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Paws_2:_The_Santa_Pups).
