BCLocalNews.com - Massey Theatre's future looks secure

EXCERPT:

There’s a general consensus developing on New Westminster school board that the Massey Theatre won’t be demolished to make room for a new secondary school.

But trustees are still not making any promises.

“Let’s put it this way, I haven’t come across anybody that doesn’t say the Massey plays an important role in the community,” said trustee Casey Cook.

That’s a sentiment shared by Michael Ewen, who is often at odds with Cook over other issues.

“More than two months ago I said that Massey was off the table,” said Ewen, adding he’s grown weary of the “save the Massey” presentations the board has listened to at recent meetings.

“We’re not going to go there because the community doesn’t want us to.”
