The decision this week by Collingwood Council to put the construction of an arts centre on the back burner is being met with the ire of both Theatre Collingwood and the founder of Collingwood Music Festival.
Concerns varying from financial priorities to parking issues downtown led to council’s decision.
The Music Festival founder Daniel Vnukowski has threatened to take the festival elsewhere
And Theatre Collingwood’s artistic Director Erica Angus released a statement yesterday calling the town’s decision on the project disrespectful. She too threatened leaving by saying they’d have to consider their options beyond the boundaries of Collingwood.
After 41 years of bringing live theatre and music to Collingwood, Theatre Collingwood must now consider its options beyond the boundaries of this municipality.
