The Hall has been open for almost nine months now and everything is going great. The summer has been busy so far, and things are expected to get even busier in the next few months. Hall rentals are still doing well, which helps defray the costs of operation and changes are being made to the displays over the next couple of weeks. Drop in and visit. You’ll be glad you did!!! The Visitor Information Centre is now located at the Maritime Hall of Fame building and is open daily from 9am until 5pm until at least the end of August. Drop by and see Elyssa who is manning the desk everyday and, of course, while there, take a look at all the exhibits on display. You’ll be glad you did. |
