Minto council briefs: Norgan Theatre to be air-conditioned

MINTO – The Norgan Theatre is about to become an even cooler place to spend a summer evening this year.

Councillor Ron Elliott told Minto council on March 3 that plans are in place to install air conditioning in the municipally-owned,   volunteer-run

theatre.

“We’re going ahead with the air conditioning system as soon as possible. Metzger Heating will be doing the work for us,” said Elliott in a report from the Norgan Theatre committee.

“We hope we have it up and running for summer.

“We have lots of money in reserve to cover it ... It shouldn’t cost the taxpayers, other than those that have donated to the theatre, any money.”

Flood meeting

Councillor Dave Turton advised council a drop-in style meeting on the Harriston flood mitigation project is planned for March 25.

The meeting will run from 3 to 6:30pm downstairs at the Harriston Library.
