CULTIVATING THE ARTS
As our founders implemented decades ago, Weiler, Maloney, Nelson continues to invest in the Thunder Bay community, particularly in the arts and culture sector.
One of our partners, Garth O’Neill, presently sits on the Board of Directors for the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium. Weilers has been the Wineglass Sponsor of the TBCA’s “Wine Affair” for the past 10 years, and in 2010 received recognition for being a major sponsor in support of this annual fundraiser (monies raised at this event help the TBCA continue their top-notch programming).
Last year, the firm sponsored the “Emerging Youth Artist” Award for The City’s Arts & Heritage Program, and was one of the proud supporters of the Biindigaate Film Festival held last fall.
Fhara Pottinger, a firm lawyer, sits as President on the Board of Directors for the Community Arts and Heritage Education Project (CAHEP). CAHEP is a local organization that “empowers children and youth in the community of Thunder Bay by creating and implementing accessible multi disciplinary arts and heritage programming and resources so that people will discover the joy of arts and heritage within their own lives and create a legacy by fostering a commitment to culture”.
Weilers is pleased to continue its annual support of performances produced by both Magnus Theatre and Cambrian Players.
Over the years, Weiler, Maloney, Nelson has supported and attended many functions at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery, whether it was an exhibit, an art auction or its annual Bird House Auction. As well, some of our lawyers have either been a member of TBAG, or contributed to its annual fund campaign.
Weilers also promotes a myriad of cultures (Aboriginal, Polish, Italian and East Indian - to name a few) by attending annual events, and/or placing ads in several of these organizations’ publications.
It has been a natural progression for the firm even today to continue the exemplary actions of our founding principals. Weiler, Maloney, Nelson proudly lives in this great community, and enthusiastically gives back to this great community.
