A 2500-square foot expansion will enable the Hall to increase collection storage and curatorial work space and establish a library and research centre for its extensive collection of books and archival material. The project will also include updates to the exhibition spaces, including the hall of inductee plaques. The total cost of the initiative is estimated at $850,000, and will be funded by the Hall’s capital reserve fund and funding through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program. The project is currently in the design phase. Construction is expected to commence towards the end of this year.
