New music facility to be considered
By Bill Chaplin An initiative by wellknown local musician Dale Butler and Mike Binder will get full council consideration at budget time next year. During the past summer they circulated a petition to build a gazebo at Robson St. Park for the music events that are held there, and got 440 signatures supporting the idea. The goal was to have a place that is shaded and has electrical outlets to make it easier for performers to play music in the park. But that is only part of the story. At the Mon. Dec. 3 Council meeting, Dale and a group of his friends performed Oh Canada to open the Council meeting. Then, when it came time for Dale to speak to Council he assured them that local supporters would commit at least $1,000 toward the cost. In fact, he said, “If one thousand isn’t enough we’ll raise more!” He would also like the performance area to serve as a local musicians’ memorial where the contributions of many past music teachers and performers could be remembered. (Just think of the Helen Law Singers and of Jack Lougheed’s Leamington Boys Band... Asked by Councillor Chris Chopchik if they had considered the performance area in Seacliff Park Mr. Butler pointed out two considerations: it is too large an area for the small groups that regularly play at Robson Road Park, and the many elderly that enjoy those concerts would find descending and climbing the hill to the lower park a significant barrier to attendance. The motion to refer this project to budget deliberations passed unanimously.
