PEC Construction Association funds to refurbish Regent marquee

The Regent Theatre Picton has ensured local contractors, tradesmen and suppliers are the major beneficiaries of more than $500,000 being spent during the theatre’s current renovations.
County tradesmen showed their appreciation at the Prince Edward County Construction Association’s annual awards dinner in February. Recognizing the residual value the renovation is bringing and will bring in the future to Prince Edward County, the association donated proceed of a silent auction to the Regent. Contractor Rob Richmond of Loyalist Contractors and Picton Home Hardware owner Adam Busscher matched the funds raised, for a total of $4,380 going to the Regent. Above, Peter Matthewman, Chris Ireland, Drew Byford, Rob Richmond, Mark Busscher and Neil Thompson present the funds – earmarked for the refurbishing of the theatre’s marquee. The theatre’s renovations are on schedule, on budget and almost complete. The first event will be the opera Le Comte Ory, Live From the Met, on April 9 at 1 p.m.  Movies resume Friday, April 15, and the grand opening weekend, May 5-8, is rapidly taking shape.
