Maxime Chouinard was the Centre’s curator for the past five years. It is with regret that we shared his last day with us on Monday, March 31. He had been in charge of the preservation aspects of the Morrin Centre’s over 200-year-old building, and was instrumental in putting together our permanent exhibition on prison life in the 19th century. He managed the archives and artifacts of the Centre, as well as organized meetings of the acquisitions committee. Maxime also played a large role in developing the Centre’s guided tours, including training guides.
We would like to thank Maxime for his hard work and dedication. The entire team and Council wish him the best of luck in his projects to come!
