The Galt Collegiate Institute’s Community Amphitheatre is an outdoor 400+ person theatre, located just behind the school, facing the Grand River. It has accommodated a variety of events ranging from music festivals, art shows, and movie filming to weddings, and for many in the school community, it is a hidden treasure. The school board is planning to demolish this theatre, so the local community is working to raise awareness in order to preserve it for years to come.
If you are interested in joining the conversation, there will be a UWSA meeting with fellow community members at 5:30PM on Tuesday, May 14 in the loft to discuss Waterloo Architecture’s future plans for involvement with this cause. As architects, we need to engage with these discussions on the future of public space in our own community, and bring a unique perspective on the necessity of such projects.
Hope to see you there!
