Community group seeks funds for waterfront bandshell [ Monday, council agreed to support a private sector, nonâ€"profit coalition of people in the community to work at raising funds for a new bandshell in Coronation Park â€" a project that would be half funded by the provincial Waterfront Regeneration Trust Fund. The bandshell is estimated to cost $300,000 with the municipality‘s porâ€" yion estimated at about $150,000. . Council allowed the application to #o forward for the matching provincial 'grant on the basis of a future report safeguarding the municipality‘s portion of the funds. ommunity musicians and perâ€" formers may be able to play on Athe stage of a new waterfront bandshell if a communityâ€"based coaliâ€" tion has its way.

Originally, the stage was excluded from the project due to lack of funds. But with the efforts from the coalition, the stage looks to be a reality. That pleases people like local archiâ€" tect and president of the Oakville Arts Council, Gren Weiss. In his view, projects like the buildâ€" ing of a new bandshell go a long way towards creating a healthy community. "Great emphasis is now being placed on the need to create healthy communiâ€" ties," said Weiss to council. "Integration of the arts into our everyâ€" day lives ensures the health of the comâ€" munity, enhances the landscape, and attracts both tourists and businesses." Weiss said the Oakville Arts Council, the Waterfront Festival peoâ€" ple, as well as, local businesses such as St. Lawrence Cement â€" who have agreed to underwrite the cost of the cement for the project â€" and service clubs are all working to take advantage of the funding program. According to Gillian Smart, incoming director of the next year‘s Waterfront Festival, there has been little "negatives" from any of the recent requests to local businesses and clubs. "We are asking you to be a catalyst in pursuing this opportunity," she urged council. Concerns about the bandshell have been longstanding, from ongoing vanâ€" dalism and noise levels at its present location. With a new bandshell, said Weiss, there would be more integration of the arts into the community and more people would benefit. He said the Arts Council fields "numerous calls" from residents requesting reinstatement of the former free summer concerts in the park proâ€" gram and he pointed to several other examples of the need for a suitable ecoâ€" nomical stage for local musicians and performers. Weiss said a professional quality bandshell would do much more than accommodate Waterfront Festival perâ€" formances. He said it would expand the festival atmosphere and draw more tourists to the town during the year. Charles Coles â€" from the St. Lawrence Cement â€" reâ€"iterated the donation of the cement and pointed to it as an indicator of the support that can come from the private sector. We ask that you approve this and pass the ball to us to allow the project to go forâ€" ward," he said. To Mayor Ann Mulvale, the forging of partnerships such as this one on Monday, between the private and pubâ€" lic sector, is just the wave of the future. She said without such partnerships, the municipality will lose out in these days of dwindling funds and tight budâ€" gets. ‘"We need things like this; partnerâ€" ships like this," she said. e L it3 e | U s MJ «160 552 Mon.â€"Thurs. 5:00 p.m. â€" 3:30 a.m. All Specials include a FREE exterior Car Wash DAY SHIFT AROURS: Mon.â€"Thurs. 7:30 a.m.â€" 5 p.m., Fri. 7:30 a.m.â€" 5:00 p.m. | Specials Include most cars light trucks.
