the Charles W. Stockey Centre
I
for the Performing Arts
July 18, 2003
BY MARGARET BOYD
t is a privilege to tell you the story of all the people who dreamed, planned, donated
and worked together to build the Charles W. Stockey Centre for the Performing Arts.
Many of us here will remember the first concert on July 18, 2003; remember the
thrill of hearing the brass fanfare and then O Canada; remember the moment when
the audience rose to its feet as Festival of the Sound Artistic Director James Campbell
walked onto the stage; remember his first words, “Well, dreams do come true.”
I have taken my seat for hundreds of concerts in our wonderful performance hall
and the excitement is still there every time.
For the Festival of the Sound, the Stockey Centre represents the fulfillment of a goal first established
in 1979 after three concerts in the small gym at Parry Sound High School. Those goals included an
international calibre music festival in Parry Sound and an acoustically and architecturally excellent
performance hall on the shores of Georgian Bay.
The first goal was achieved fairly quickly. The second goal proved to be more challenging and it
took 23 summers in that stuffy high school gym before the building was a reality. Over the years, various
possibilities for sites and for partnerships were explored but each time there were obstacles that just
couldn’t be overcome. Then, in the late ‘90’s, Councillor Richard Adams came to my back door with
an idea. There was funding available to study four projects that could enhance tourism and economic
development. Based on the results of the study, the Town of Parry Sound as lead partner could apply
for funding from the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund. Richard asked if the Festival of the Sound would
be interested in studying the possibility of a performance hall. At the same time, another group was
studying the feasibility of a Bobby Orr Hall of Fame. When the study was complete, Ernie Eves advised
the Town that both the performance hall and the hall of fame were eligible but that only one could be
funded. His advice – work together or the funding agency would pick one. And the rest is history.
There were setbacks along the way – cleaning up the contamination on the site, preserving the fish

habitat, turning the building a few degrees to improve the view from a hotel that has never been built.
It was challenging to raise private sector funds for a project that was really still a dream but the same
optimistic spirit that kept the Festival going through thick and thin was alive and led to a substantial
number of five-year pledges. The architectural firm of Keith Loffler was hired and plans were drawn.
In May of 2001, the federal government announced a new five-year capital funding program called
