Progress is about to get underway at the Watson Art Center, as the replacement of the auditorium floor boards gets underway this week.

The fresh floor boards are already on location, adjust to the climate before installation kicks into action this week.

According to Cam Bennet with the Allied Arts Council, ripping up the original floor starts tomorrow, Tuesday, June 25th, and could take a few weeks.

Bennet notes that a few creative projects are planned for these recycled floorboards.

"Picture frames is one, some signage for the Watson itself, fire hall, auditorium, that type of thing. Yeah, we've got a few ideas. We've got plenty plenty of wood, or we will. There's no real rush to to do something with it, so if something comes up in the next couple of monthes, we can look a that as well."

The Watson Art Centre will be closed to the public from June 25th - July 9th for the installation of this new flooring.
