The centre was built as an infrastructure pro- gram, with funds split be- tween the provincial and federal governments and the township, with no money coming out of the tax levy. At the time of the groundbreaking the Scu- gog Advisory Board intro- duced a special sub com- mittee to oversee the promotional and funding aspects of the hall as well as the future development of Scugog Centre. The sub committee, con- sisting of Bob Hull, Ken- nedy Self, Jim McMillan and Sean Fewer, placed a goal of $100, 000 for the community hall phase of the project. Several community or- ganizations, including the Rotary Club of Port Perry, the Honeydale Womens Institute and Port Perry Minor Hockey, Softball and Ringette made mone- tary contributions to the first phase. The hall has a seating capacity for 450 people and also offers a large lob- by area, lounge area, warming kitchen, addi- tional washrooms, a re- ceiving area, bar facilities, complete sound system, air conditioning and coat check room, as well as 100 tables and 750 chairs, which are included in the rental fees.
