In recent years, the use of the building began to increase as it fills the need for a concert venue in the city of this size. It has additional space which has become a great rehearsal hall for a number of theatre companies and choirs. The mission of the CAC is to:1. Intentionally create a welcoming hub for artistic endeavours of all kinds and social and community engagement.2. Provide a home for the arts to:• Promote public access to the arts;• Provide a forum for artists to exhibit, perform or present their work; and• Provide support and training.3.
