The Watson Arts Centre has reached its fundraising goal in its "Coolest Building in Town" fundraising campaign.
After receiving almost $1,000 in e-transfers over the weekend, as well as a cheque for $1,000, the campaign surpassed the $12,000 mark needed to pay the 12 per cent taxes on a project that will see heat pump technology installed in the building.
That technology will cool the building over the hot summer days, allowing the Watson to remain open 12 months of the year.
Officials with the Watson thank everyone who donated to this cause.
They say donations will continue to be accepted, which will help reduce the amount that they will need to pull from their reserves to pay for this project, which will take place in the summer of 2025.
