Finance & Admin Coordinator

**Organization Description**

The Town of Midland, home of the Midland Cultural Centre (MCC), is situated on the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay at the gateway to the 30,000 islands. Together with the other communities that comprise the Heart of Georgian Bay, the area offers a dynamic work/life balance. Located within a 90-minute drive from Toronto, cottagers and tourists are drawn to the area by our multiple historic sites, award
- winning festivals and events, accessible walking and cycling trails, pristine beaches, snowmobiling and skiing trails, galleries, performance venues and newly reconstructed downtown core which features unique boutique shopping experiences. Our area boasts a provincial and a national park, as well as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Our communities, rooted in our tri-cultural heritage, have recently formed the Culture Alliance, a joint culture committee serving the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene, Townships of Tay and Tiny, and Beausoleil First Nation. The collaboration of a First Nation, two Francophone and two Anglophone communities to foster and promote culture is unprecedented in the province and demonstrates that our citizens value and celebrate culture in its many forms in our daily lives.

Situated in the Town of Midland’s downtown core, the MCC is a focal point for many of the cultural activities in the Heart of Georgian Bay and welcomes 70,000 visitors per year. Born from the vision of philanthropist Reinhart Weber and established through a pledge of more than $11 million from the Weber Foundation, which remains the largest single donation in the history of the County of Simcoe, the Centre opened in June 2012. The completely accessible state-of
- the-art facility features Rotary Hall, a 274-seat multi-purpose space, an Indigenous Art Gallery, and a Café. The MCC is also home to Quest Art School + Gallery with exhibition and classroom space, and Huronia Players Community Theatre Group, with a 121-seat theatre. The Centre sells 17,000 tickets per year for various performances, concerts and special presentations drawing local and provincial audiences.
