Dear editor,
Re: Arts feasibility study funded (Record, Nov. 2).
Whatever happened to….?
The Cultural Capitals Program of 2007 included, I believe, $25,000 for a study of the arts in this area.
I have never seen, nor heard of the results of that. I believe the funds were administered by the Economic Development Society.
Before we go spending more of our money on studies, may I suggest we find out what the recommendations in that study were. Maybe Mr. Jon Ambler would be interested in reading that. And, dear editor, I would be interested in knowing what you find of that original study.
If you want a good example of community commitment to the arts, one need not look any further than the Port Theatre in Nanaimo.
Let’s use some “common sense” here.
