Proposed Cultural Arts Centre

An arts centre for our area: Now is the opportunity!

ENERGIES FOCUSED ON RESEARCHING OTHER OPPORTUNITIES

HALIFAX, October 15, 2010 – The Cobequid Cultural Society Board (CCS) announced today that it will not proceed with the enhancement to the new high school to be built for the Bedford/Hammonds Plains area.

At a recent CCS Board meeting the following motion was passed after careful discernment and consideration: “Move that we not proceed with the enhancement to the new high school to be built for the Bedford/Hammonds Plains area due to the significant deviation from the original Cobequid Cultural Centre of the Arts Society vision and proposal.”

"We are not prepared to settle for an art centre in a gymnasium or cafeteria as proposed by the HRM,” said CCS Spokesperson Walter Regan. "Therefore, we will not be partnering with the Department of Education, the Halifax Regional Municipality and the Halifax Regional School Board at this time." The CCS will however continue to pursue its vision of providing the people in the northwest area of the HRM with a unique cultural centre of the arts." DOWNLOAD THE FULL PRESS RELEASE HERE.
