Showcasing our Culture & Heritage through history, music, drama and visual arts.

Summer 2010

The Beaches Heritage Centre plays host to a variety of the best artists and entertainers in the province. Not only is The Prince Dyke Memorial Theatre used for concerts, plays, readings, awards and lectures, but The Veteran's Gallery exhibits 2-3 visual art shows each summer and displays plaques of some of the local veterans for whom the gallery is named in the off-season. In addition, the backstage Boardroom/Annex hosts numerous children's programs, short courses and workshops throughout the year, thus playing a key role in the development and preservation of the traditional and modern arts.
