Arts & Culture in Ward 3

In terms of my arts involvement, I have been a supporter of The Lindsay Art Gallery, on many issues that have come to council. In addition I work with the group Fenelon Live, whose mandate is to bring Live Performances to our area, an example of a recent success was Simcoe Day and the 1812/14 re-enactment. Also, I am working with a group who wants to bring live outdoor theater performances to the area, and I also work with a group that wants Public Art displays on the street, an example are the hangings on the Fenelon Bridge, and finally, I have long supported the Fenelon Art Gallery and their very important festival held on Labour Day weekend.
