Dear Minister MacKay,

The Garrick Theatre should open! I am a 12 year old girl from the town of Bonavista and I've got to say we don't have any entertainment for young people! If you were my age you'd probably want the theatre to open too so you would have somewhere fun to go with your friends and family instead of having to travel to St.Johns to see a movie while profiting to their town. If we had a theatre it would make the town of Bonavista a whole lot of money because the residents in the surrounding areas would like to see a movie now and then so they'd travel to Bonavista to see the movie instead of giving money away in St.Johns! In the summer lots of tourist see the theatre and wonder why we haven't fixed it up because it's such a beautiful place but now that you've got it done outside why can't you go the extra path and redo the inside has well? Is it because your concerned money wise? Well on that point I'll give you a idea , has a town we all could do some kind of fundraising which would certainly help you money wise in restoring the Garrick Theatre. The Garrick theatre would give the Town of Bonavista a whole new look! For so long Bonavista has had the theatre sagging under rotting wood and old roofing so thats probably why you did up the outside but what was the point of doing up the outside when you knew that the Town of Bonavista can't restore up the inside because most of the people in Bonavista don't really have lots of money to spend in grocery stores and department stores, restaurants,and other stores in Bonavista, so in this case Bonavista does not have lots of money coming in to spend on the Garrick Theatre although I'm sure they'd like to. I hope you think about some of the points I addressed in this letter, Thanks!

Yours sincerely,
Samantha Eddy
