GENERAL PURPOSE & ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
REPORT NO. ADMIN-13-88 PAGE 2.
With that direction, staff contacted the respective curators of
the Bowmanville Museum and Clarke Museum and Archives to
investigate the possibility of the Town's participation at this
event.
Staff in conjunction with each of the museums investigated the
feasibility of preparing a program on behalf of the Municipality.
Results were such that the municipality's involvement was not
recommended at this time since the type of event was of a
performance nature rather than display oriented.
It was generally felt that a program of this nature could be
possible in future years. However, an extensive amount of
preparation time and effort would be necessary for the organization
and promotion of such an event. This would require a considerable
amount of time to coordinate in order to create a useful impact.
In addition, a close examination of the costs required
for involvement in this event would be necessary.
Accordingly, it is respectfully recommended that the Municipality
not participate in this year's event. However, consideration will
be given by staff regarding the future involvement of the
Municipality in this or similar events.
Respectfully submitted,
