City Kidz Ottawa Finds a Home

It had to happen eventually.  All the phone calls, miles driven and various locations investigated by myself and a couple of dedicated volunteers, had to eventually pay off with a location for the City Kidz Ottawa Playhouse Theatre.  Finally, thankfully, a perfect site, the Hardini Centre, emerged out of the blue one day when I was driving around in  Ottawa’s east end.  I immediately made some phone calls, had an opportunity to look inside  last week and after having a great meeting with the building coordinator, all systems are go for City Kidz to hold our Playhouse Theatre there twice monthly on Saturdays!!  I am excited, because the Centre is absolutely perfect for what we need!  First of all, it’s a community centre privately owned by the church next door  (which I never would have found online because they don’t advertise) and has a lecture/theatre style room that suits the City Kidz Theatre format.  The other great thing --- this is the icing on the cake --- the Hardini Centre is also home to many of the local community services such as the food bank, snow suit fund and community resource centre.  This will make it very easy for City Kidz Ottawa and these services to connect to work together in a continuing effort to  help the families of the district.   What a great starting place!  Thank you to everyone who has prayed and for the many great suggestions that were given.  It took a while,  but it was soooo worth it!   Okay!  How simple was that?!?

…And ONE for all!!!
