Founder Campaign

The Garry Theatre is more than just a building, it’s a place where our community has gathered for decades to laugh, cry, learn, and celebrate together. As we restore this historic space, we’re launching the Founder Campaign: a special opportunity for community members, businesses, and organizations to play a lasting role in bringing the Garry back to life.

What is the Founder Campaign?

The Founder Campaign is our way of honouring the individuals, businesses, and community partners who step forward at this critical moment to make the re-opening of the Garry Theatre a reality.

Make your mark on history. When you donate or sponsor the Garry, you’ll be recognized as a Founder, one of the cornerstone supporters whose early generosity is allowing us to re-open the doors to the Garry Theatre. Founders will receive recognition on the Contributors Wall.

By becoming a Founder, you are not only investing in bricks and mortar you are investing in culture, creativity, and community for generations to come.

Help us Reach our Fundraising Goal!

• Building community – helping create a space for live performances, film, and events that bring people together.
