Use of LAC Public Space

The following is an announcement from Library and Archives Canada.

LAC allows organizations to hold their events at 395 Wellington Street. This is in addition to the use of the public space for LAC and other Government of Canada events. For 2011, LAC is at full capacity and not accepting any new reservations.

LAC is currently reviewing the use of public space at 395 Wellington Street. As such, LAC cannot accept reservations for 2012. An announcement as to the use of public space in 2012 will come later this year.

Comment: Many cultural organizations, including genealogical, film, music and others have used LAC for meetings for many years. Change happens, but should not occur without the stakeholders with a longstanding relationship  being consulted in a meaningful way.
