Council gives support for Rawlinson Centre upgrades
The E.A. Rawlinson Centre will see some technical upgrades after city councillors gave their early approval to just over $100,000 in funding for the facility.
Councillors showed unanimous support for the upgrades at their executive committee meeting last week. The funding includes $70,000 for a new lighting system for the facility and $35,000 for a new sound system.
The funding would come from the E.A. Rawlinson Centre Facility Fee Reserve, and is expected to be formally approved at the next public council meeting Oct. 1.
Roxanne Dicke, general manager with the E.A. Rawlinson Centre, told council the current system is obsolete and needs to be upgraded in order to attract professional acts to Prince Albert and provide a better quality experience for ticket holders.
