(BEN BULMER / iNFOnews.ca) April 06, 2021 - 7:00 PM A Vernon resident s initiative in launching a GoFundMe campaign to raise $1 million towards paying off the Schubert Centre’s debt highlights the dire financial situation the much-loved seniors centre finds itself in. And unfortunately, the lofty goal if reached would only cover a little over half of the centre s $1.9 million of debt. Publicly available records show the charity s expenses have outstripped its revenue dating back to 2005. While not all years saw significant deficits – in 2009 the centre was only $12,000 short – but by 2015 the centre finished the year almost $100,000 in the red. The following year s expenses outstripped revenue by more than $300,000.
