Centre ‘unique amenity’
The Christchurch Artsp • Centre is the most adventur-i •ous cultural amenity in New; ,(Zealand, says the Vice-Chan-cellor of the University of] [Canterbury (Professor A. D.'i I; Brown lie). : I Professor Brownlie was .speaking at a function at the; ;Arts Centre yesterday before • he formally conveyed the] ', old university site to the ] (Arts Centre Trust Board. ( I The Mayor of Christ-1
. church (Mr H. G. Hay) said ‘Canterbury should be proud ' of such an outstanding and unique facility. He was pleased that the] project to convert the build-: ings into the Arts Centre! had received considerable: support from local govern-] ]ment, and hoped there would ' I be an increasing contribution! :from the Government to-
: wards maintaining the' centre. i “An amenity such as this 1 deserves assistance from the. Government, and with so, much profit being made on' .double-hanger lotteries and ! the like, 1 am sure the Min- ] lister of Internal Affairs (Mr] Highet) would be sympa-; ithetic if the Arts Centre ap-i ‘proached him for another] isloo,ooo next year,” Mr Hay] said.
