Xtra.ca reports:
"It'll be a space where there'll be an awful lot more interaction, as well as the repository of our history," says CLGA vice president Dennis Findlay. Findlay says the new and improved digs — which include a public reading room, gallery and meeting space — will raise the profile of the organization and collection, as well as create a space for the community to come together. "As you walk through the house the walls will be festooned with things that came into our possession.... It'll be a lovely welcoming space," says Findlay. "People will be able to walk through our history in a visual kind of way." READ MORE
