Owen Sound’s Harmony Centre has been the beneficiary of a new investment program with the Community Foundation of Grey-Bruce.

Under the new program, the Community Foundation will assume the Harmony Centre’s privately held mortgage and set the interest rate below market rates and in exchange, the centre will operate as a social enterprise to benefit the public by offering a non profit hub for local performers, artists and community groups.

The Harmony Centre, which is run by volunteers hosts thousands of individuals every year for performances, workshops, meetings and banquets at the 150 year old former church which was saved from an uncertain future over a decade ago.
