The Battleford Historic Opera House Gallery board held its annual general meeting last week. Left to right are chair Chris Odishaw and some of the board members - Jayne Foster, Linda Coe-Kirkham, Kjelti Anderson and Dean Bauche - on the stage of the Opera House. The top floor of Battleford Town Hall, which has been unused since a fire in 1965, is to be refurbished to its original condition, including a horse hair dance floor and an addition to the east side of the building will provide access, house washrooms and elevator and a coffee shop. Topping it off will be an enclosed viewing area with a 360-degree vista. The addition and refurbishment are taking place in conjunction with a renovation of the Town Hall main floor. Plans are in the final stages, and fundraising for the Opera House portion of the project will begin soon. Photo submitted
