Betty Lillow and Bonnie Carter Co-Chairs of the Barrie Outdoor Performance Association provided information concerning the history of the Outdoor Performance Centre. Ms. Carter noted that the project was approved in principle by City Council 2003 and that in 2004 the Association received funding from the Molson Community Fund in the amount of $170,000 towards the project.
Ms. Lillow and Ms. Carter presented a cheque in the amount of $50,000 to Mayor Lehman for the pre-design work associated with the Bayview Park Outdoor Performance Stage.
Mayor Lehman thanked the Association for their generosity, noting that the idea of an outdoor performance stage has existed for a number of years and that the donation may be the catalyst to get the project started.
