Mary Webb Centre Granted Funding

Highgate’s Mary Webb Centre is getting a boost from the Municipality, but they’ll have to work a little harder to get it.

Councillor David VanDamme discusses funding for the Mary Web Centre in Council Chambers, April 3, 2017.

The Centre originally asked for $250,000 to cover the rest of their renovation costs, but Council had some concerns with that price tag.

They’ll now receive a quarter of that – to the tune of $62,000 if they can match that amount through fundraising.

The proposal began as a bridge funding request earlier this year, but passed last night as a one-time economic stimulus.

The money will come through the Strategic Reserve, and will be used to install windows and doors.
