Charest opens doors to community room

EXPOSITOR STAFF / BRANTFORD

Developer Steve Charest felt that Doors Open Brant was a perfect way to present a gift to the community and announce the end of his largest brownfield restoration project yet.

He cut the ribbon – actually a strip of symbolic red tape – on the new Holmedale Heritage Community Room in King and Benton’s finished Holmedale Business Centre on Morrell Street and invited the community to use it – free of charge.

Non-profit groups and local clubs can book the room between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.

To book the new Holmedale Heritage Community Room, call 752-2714.

City's sites swing doors wide open

Fourteen sites, including church buildings, city hall, a former brownfield property and private residences, opened their doors to the curious public, who responded with enthusiasm.

Aimed mainly at adults, the tour include variety of sites, from the Cockshutt memorabilia display to the farm art studio of Marsha Edgars. For kids, there was a bouncy gym, face-painting and a Big Brother barbecue at the old Harding Carpets project – now known as the Holmedale Business Centre.

The Open Doors launch, which took place at the Morrell Street site, included the opening of King and Benton’s Holmedale Heritage Community Room, which contains artefacts and photos of the business complex that was built in sections from 1916 to 1986.
