The main entrance is now at the back of the building, while the gallery was built at the front. Oakville Arts Council (OAC) president Victoria Behune said the council is proud to call the QEPCCC home and believes that integration into the "unique and dynamic" space will enhance its ability to make a greater contribution to the arts. "As a strategic partner to the Town of Oakville, we feel strongly that QEP will create more opportunities together to creatively enhance the cultural, economic and social fabric of this special community," said Behune. The OAC represents more than 250 professional and community arts organizations and individual artists. The QEPCCC is currently home to 13 arts groups, with more expected to join in the fall. Programs should start within the next nikki wesley / oakville beaver / @halton_photog week or two, de Vaal said. "Everybody (should) come and see this magpool: The popular pool at the newly opened community centre sports a nificent building. There's nothing like it we know of anywhere. It is spectacular and awe-inspiring. We do believe it's going to be the cultural love of Oakville."
