“The information was passed to the Federal and Provincial governments in the form of a resolution adopted by the Board emergency. session Thursday af- ternoon. The session was called to consider. the future of the arts centre in view of continuing and current financial difficulties. At present the Trust, set up to ad- minister the affairs of the Na- tional Memorial in 1964, has only enough funds to meet finan- cial commitments already .-un-. dertaken.

OPERATION PROBLEM

“The decision of the Trust means closure of the memorial built by The Fathers of Confe- deration Memorial Citizens’ Foundation on behalf of all the “people of Canada to cémmenior=* ate the Charlottetown Conference of 1864. The building fund was raised by contributions amount- ing to fifteen cents per: capita from each province, and a matching grant of 2.8 million dollars given to the Foundation by the Federal Government. In its resolution the Trust states that since its appointment it has continued to seek sources of- re- venue to meet minimum fre- quirements to operate the Me- morial Building.

“The resolution notes difficul- ties encountered in attempting to raise money from business, industry and private sources for the operation and maintenance of the Memorial Building, and ‘states that the Trust then look- ed to government to asstime this fiscal responsibility.

“Motivated by the principle

that the buildings were in es- sence and in fact a national shrine belonging to all the people of Canada, the Trust approach- ed the Federal Government to

“Further negotiations were opened in the early spring of 1966, and a meeting was arrang- ed with the Secretary of State on 13 July. At that-meeting the-Sec- retary was made aware of the critical position of the Trust and informed that it would not be able to continue operation of Confederation Centre beyond 30 September if long term financ- ing was-not arranged.

“A careta arrangement will be worked out with the Pro- vincial Gov: nt, the body to whom the Trust reports, regard- ing details for the protection and security of the buildings. The fate of .the Provincial Library which occupies'a wing of the building will be an important topic under discussion.

“Should the Trust be forced to take the final step, the cessa- tion of operations will mean the | cancellation of _the _Charlotte- 1967 season and the proposed na- tional tour of the festival produc- tion ‘‘Anne of Green Gables’’ un- der~the auspices of the Canada Festival.

“Since no confirmation has been forthcoming from Ottawa, the Trust can no longer be re- sponsible for incurring debts or making commitments and it has reluctantly resolved that it must cease operation of Confederation: Centre on 5 November.
