Carleton University will host an announcement of a gift from the Crabtree Foundation in support of the renovation of the Dominion-Chalmers United Church complex as Carleton’s new concert hall facility.
When: Tuesday, June 5, 2018, at 2 p.m.
Where: Dominion-Chalmers United Church, 355 Cooper Street, Ottawa
This is a closed event. However, media are invited to attend.
On May 24, 2018, Carleton’s Board of Governors approved the purchase of the church for use as a multi-purpose performance space for Carleton students and faculty and a hub for artists and community groups. Dominion-Chalmers is already home to one of Ottawa’s best concert halls.
About the Crabtree Foundation
The Crabtree Foundation is a private family foundation established in Montreal by Harold Crabtree. It subsequently moved to Ottawa, where its operations have been based for the last 30 years. The foundation’s capital, the source of its grants, has been donated by family members. Its activities represent the philanthropic interests of the Sandra Crabtree and Gerald MacGarvie family. A number of the arts organizations who will use the Dominion-Chalmers facility have been supported over the years by the foundation.
