The activity will begin with a presentation (in French) by Morrin Centre’s collections assistant Rose Caron of an upcoming display that will highlight the archives of the restoration project\, followed by a (bilingual) discussion on the restoration of the Morrin Centre where you will have the opportunity to share your own experiences or anecdotes. \nIf you would like to share your memories or give a short presentation—about the Morrin Centre and its restoration between the late 1980s and 2012—during this event\, please get in touch by emailing us at cultural.programming@morrin.org. \n  \nThe Presenter \nRose Caron is a collections assistant at the Morrin Centre and a graduate student in history at Université Laval. She is currently working on her master’s thesis about shipwreck accounts in New France. \nShe is joining the Morrin Centre team this summer thanks to a heritage professional experience bursary from Première Ovation. \n\n\n  \nSIGN UP BY VISITING THE MORRIN CENTRE WEBSITE HERE: https://www.morrin.org/en/event/sur-les-traces-du-projet-de-restoration/

The project is intentionally designed to support neurodivergent adults\, LGBTQ+ community members\, immigrants and newcomers\, while remaining open to all…
