The developers, Scott Higgins and HIP Developments want to focus on the community aspect of the square and create a welcoming environment for everyone, filling a gap they feel this city has had for some time. The theme of play is heavily layered in the developments brand, from posters, wall art and street signs, they are looking at the space like the communities new playground. Stephanie Watson, executive assistant at Gaslight Events, said the video screen is being looked at for sporting events like Raptor games, football or other popular sports. "A lot of us here have young kids and family so we wanted the space to incorporate different kinds of play." "Every Wednesday we will be doing movie nights for children and families," Soares added. The outdoor town square will add rotating, interactive art displays and have the largest permanently installed video screen in Canada. "Like the Tavern, we are going to open the market as planned so the community can still come in and get a sense for what the space will be like," Soares said. Gaslight plans on opening the market in May when the original grand opening for the square would have been. The market will provide the community with a cafe and seating area plus local produce and products. The one acre outdoor venue can hold over 4,000 people and will be lined with patios from the Foundry Tavern, Tapestry Hall and the market that will be opening in the coming months. ![]() Looking forward to a July opening, they will be offering weekly movie nights, consistent live music and a vendor market to showcase local artisans. Soares adds they are lucky to only be delayed two months as other businesses in the area have been delayed for close to a year. "Like a lot of businesses we would have loved to be open already, but we did have some minor supply chain issues." "This is going to be unlike anything in the entire region," Soares said. The long-awaited public square at the Gaslight District in Galt aims to breathe new life into the community, but will be delayed a few months due to construction issues.Īlthough the square wont be able to meet its original May 25 grand opening target, Carolina Soares, CEO of Gaslight Events said the wait will be worth it.
