Arts Centre Worth a Look: Citizen

According to Dave Paulson, Managing Editor of the Citizen, Prince George has a "dire need for (a performing arts centre)."

It his Saturday, February 10, 2007 editorial Paulson says "The city’s arts, theatre and dance groups hold their performances at cramped, antiquated and inadequate facilities," and "Vanier Hall, the city’s largest performing arts venue, is a particular nuisance."

The piece goes on to point out the mistake the City made when they built the Multiplex at recreation place instead of downtown, and that a performing arts complex downtown could turn back the clock to a certain extent.

Paulson concludes the piece by asserting "a performing arts centre is a necessary component for improving Prince George’s status and making this city a better place to live."
