Owen Sound Little Theatre (OSLT) patrons will continue to enjoy the companys theatrical and musical productions in comfort thanks to funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).
The Foundation pitched in with 11 thousand dollars in grant funding for repairs to the roof at The Roxy Theatre and replacement of two air conditioning motors after the system failed during a heat wave in the summer of 2010.
The roof repairs and air conditioning retrofit will help ensure the 400-seat theatre continues to be a venue for quality performances for Owen Sound area residents and tourists.
Work on the project is now nearing completion.
Theatre manager Aly Boltman says with The Roxy Theatre turning 100 years old next year, the building needs careful stewardship to remain a fantastic facility for live productions.
20 to 30 thousand patrons pass through its doors each year.
A leading grantmaker in Canada, the Ontario Trillium Foundation strengthens the capacity of the voluntary sector through investments in community-based initiatives.
An agency of the Government of Ontario, OTF builds healthy and vibrant communities across the province.
