Put it away, it is a small start towards your PAC.
for the performing arts groups among the recipients that is $103,000.
That money will all go to operating expenses.
The PAC would be built with money allocated to capital.
I know, difficult for some to understand. Money is money.
The community groups could close their doors for 50+ years and collect enough money this way to build a facility.
Then again, if they did not exist, they would not get any money from the province. ;-)
