Dear Minister MacKay, I grew up in Bonavista and had the pleasure of attending the Garrick Theatre many times. Today I walk down Church Street and see this beautiful building fully completed on the outside and then come to realize that the funding agencies have stopped short of finishing this project. I don't know what to think!!

We are not asking for anything more than what we had for the past sixty years and with the Tourist Industy growing faster than ever in this area, we need our Theatre now more than ever. We have so many entertainers, so much talent in our area that we need our Theatre finished.

We do not need Tourists hearing that this town are complaining that there's nothing to do from 6-9pm in the evenings. I ask you now to give serious thought to what the Garrick Theatre means to this community.

Yours sincerely,
Frazer Warren
