Battleford Town Hall has signed a contract with Dean Bauche to pursue funding for the Battleford Opera House.
Dean Bauche is the former director of galleries for North Battleford and has deep connections to the Battlefords arts community. Bauche is "a gentleman that is well-respected within our community, one that has a lot of grounding in the arts and culture movement," explained Chris Odishaw.
The application is to the Canada Cultural Spaces fund and would provide up to 50 percent of the funding to renovate the opera house located on the second floor of town hall. Town council stated that they are happy with the contract with Bauche, explaining that it puts the town in a position to apply for other funding from the federal and provincial governments.
