Welland’s historic Central Fire Hall remains a heritage gem in Niagara
Niagara, Ontario – The Central Station Education Initiative (CSEI) gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Niagara Community Foundation’s David S. Howes Fund, a public foundation serving the people of Niagara since 2000.
NCF connects donors to causes and communities to resources through permanent endowment funds, providing grants to eligible charitable organizations in culture, health, education, environment, recreation and social service sectors. NCF turns intent into impact.
The CSEI recently received a grant in the amount of $26,532.00 from the Niagara Community Foundation through their David S. Howes Fund.
The 101-year-old Welland Central Fire Hall in the city’s downtown received an official desingation as an Ontario Heritage Site in 1993
This grant will fund interior plaster repair on the staircases, a new metal basement door, accessible washroom fixtures, blinds throughout the building, a laptop computer and printer and three display cases for the main floor Firefighting Heritage Display.
Central Station Education Initiative (CSEI) is a Registered Charity, incorporated in March of 2017, and an outgrowth of many organizations and Committees working over the last three decades to find a way to save and transform Central Fire Station into a public heritage building.
The CSEI is a not-for-profit, that is reliant on donations, and is staffed by volunteers.
