Over the past four years, Friends of The Spire has made a real difference in accessibility and amenities at The Spire.
Having demonstrated the community value of the space and the recognized heritage conservation contribution to the city, we are now seeking your assistance in finishing a major capital project for this building – replacing the cedar shingle roof installed in the early 1990’s on the heritage portion of the building. New shingles for the roof will cost upwards of $200,000.
We are respectfully requesting your financial assistance to help complete it in the summer of 2021.
