WECC Grand Opening Announcement

The West End Cultural Centre Presents…
Grand Re-Opening Festival
Monday, May 25th – Saturday, May 30th 2009

At long last, the West End Cultural Centre will re open its doors to breathe new life into a building that closed nearly one year ago due to the threat of an aging foundation. The new LEED certified facility will boast two theatres, a large lobby with an overlooking mezzanine and a plethora of upgraded patron and artist services. Over the last 22 years, the West End has been called home to such diverse audiences that our re-opening festivities will highlight a range of artists that should suit just about any Winnipegger’s palette.
