Board Welcomes Drew Allen and Brigitte Gall

The Haliburton Highlands Arts Centre Foundation is very pleased to announce two recent additions to its board of directors: Drew Allen and Brigitte Gall.

Drew brings with him a career of experience in sales, promotion and sponsorship. Drew was also a large contributor to a feasibility study for the city of Richmond Hill when they were in the beginnings of their arts centre build project. Drew and his wife recently became full time residents of Haliburton County after cottaging since 2013. Being retired, Drew enjoys cross country skiing, collecting vinyl records and learning new repertoire on the piano. He also teaches Royal Conservatory Piano grades 1 to 8, and performs at local resorts, seniors homes and private events. Additionally, Drew is a volunteer radio host at Canoe FM radio and a member of their board of directors.

Brigitte is a multi-award winning performer, writer, and producer. She has earned accolades, awards and nominations for her series “Me, My House and I”, “The World’s Greatest Spas”, plus for her roles in “Joan of Montreal”, “Blue Murder”, “Moving Day” and “Twisted Sheets”. She has also been a keynote speaker Casey House, Habitat for Humanity, Becel Heart and Stroke Foundation and more. A frequent MC at events in Haliburton County, she is also co-owner of TheOccurence, a 100% Canadian puzzle manufacturing company with her husband, Michael. Brigitte has made Minden Hills her home with her husband and two daughters since 1999.

The HHACF has a busy 2021 with multiple research and fundraising goals planned and the board is confident of successes ahead with Drew and Brigitte on the team.
