Recap: Tonight we went to council and the letter was read. There was discussion with regard to what the rec department does (and doesn't do) with respect to the arts.
Ken Harding made the comment that traditionally the arts have been outside the purview of the town because their recreational programming is 'facilities-based' (ie. civic centre based).
Someone also remarked that now could potentially be a good time to explore the possibilities since the civic centre is apparently due for a 'major capital project' (not sure what this is yet).
Results: The letter was referred to the parks and rec dept. with regard to what oher similiar positions are funded by other municipalities.
So....I will continue lobbying and wait to see what the parks and rec department says. I haven't given up-I think this is what Woodstock needs, and I'm ready to work for it.

Also: I will be enjoying the last day of school and the Montreal jazz fest so don't expect a new post until July 5th. When you will all come and hear Tracy, Adam Mahoney and others at Fusion (8pm). right?

Why have I not heard of the Tatamagouche Free School until now?
