Agenda Items Include:
To advise Council that the 2025 Draft Operating and Capital Budgets include funds for the conversion of the Old Post Office at 10184 Yonge Street to a Cultural Centre, and to describe the programming proposed for this new service.
Establishing a Cultural Centre at the Old Post Office would be consistent with City Strategic Goals, the Economic Development Strategy and recommendations of the City’s Recreation and Culture Plan
The location, size and configuration of the Old Post Office makes it optimally suited for a multi-dimensional cultural hub.
The Cultural Centre would be located centrally amongst existing cultural facilities in the downtown, augmenting the already strong cultural presence in the area, and helping to establish a Cultural District.
The Cultural Centre will promote arts and culture in the community and serve as a resource hub for the cultural industry.
