Local arts groups lobbied municipal election candidates to increase arts funding at a meet-and-greet late last month.

It has become a familiar scene to many Canadians: two contestants, clutching each other on a huge stage in front of an audience of screaming fans and a panel of judges, all waiting to see which one of them will become the next Canadian Idol.

The curtain will not rise at the Great Canadian Theatre Company’s (GCTC) new, state-of-the-art Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre until September 2007, a year later than originally planned.

From '80s moves and grooves at Barrymore’s to bumping and grinding at The Bulldog, it would seem that Centretown has most dancing styles covered. But the Ardbrae Dancers of Ottawa are encouraging local residents to try something a little different as their new season of dance classes start at Glashan Intermediate School.
