The RM of Lakeshore is looking for the public’s help in developing a plan to get renovations done at Ochre River Hall.
Carmen Hannibal is the Reeve with the Rural Municipality and says they will doing some fundraising and going after grants.
“We’re trying to get an energetic group of community residents together so we can develop a plan. We know the renovations that need to take place, so we just want to consult with some of the public and see if they have any ideas, and then we need to look for ways to raise that kind of money.”
Hannibal says there is a fair bit of work to do on the building.
“There’s some foundation work that needs to be done. The actual Hall itself is almost kind of sinking. We need to do some landscaping work and make sure there’s proper draining. Once that’s done, we can fix the floor on the inside of the Hall.”
Other renovations include upgrades to the bathrooms and a plan to create a proper dance-floor area.
If you’re interested in attending, the meeting will take place at the RM of Lakeshore office, tomorrow night at 7pm.
“We’re just looking for any ideas that they can give us to make the Hall better. If we’re going to do this, it’s going to be a substantial amount of work but we’d like to do as much as we can. So if anyone has ideas about how to make the Hall better and improve the space that we have, that would be definitely welcome.”
