Media Release - Rosedale Hall Trillium Fund

Township of Montague, January 4, 2020 —The Township of Montague is pleased to announce that it has completed the upgrades to Rosedale Hall thanks to a $127,500 Capital grant it received in 2019 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. As a result of the work, the Hall will remain a vital place in the community for people of all ages for years to come.

"Like so many of our community halls in rural Ontario, Rosedale Hall in Montague is a hub for the local community. Community events are celebrated there; new lives are started with wedding celebrations, and loved ones are often remembered with celebrations of life. They provide community programs and serve as a gathering place for the community to have their voices heard. I am pleased to see new life breathed into Montague Hall with this generous grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation," observed Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston

As a result of receiving a grant from the Foundation, needed structural upgrades have been done to the Hall, including replacing the floor joists, and installing new flooring throughout the building. In addition, a new well has been dug, and the old well has been capped, and finally, funds from the grant paid for a wonderful new children's playground and a walkway to it for easier access.
The Township of Montague wants to thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation for its generosity and investment in the community.
