The 28th of January, 2020 marks the 170th anniversary of the official opening of the Colonial Building in St. John's - one of the Province's most iconic and storied structures. It is a landmark that has witnessed some of the most important events in Newfoundland and Labrador history including crimes, riots, vandalism and over a century of political drama. On this Engaging Evening, join Greg Walsh - current Provincial Archivist/Director of The Rooms Provincial Archives Division as he recounts the history and significance of the Colonial Building, reveals some little known facts and secrets about the building, and shares special highlights and experiences of working there as an Archivist from 2000 - 2005. ASL/English Interpreting Services are available through NLAD by request only to ASLservices@therooms.ca or 709-757-8090. We will do our best to accommodate requests made within two weeks of the scheduled event.
Kickstart your weekend by joining us at The Rooms! Spend Saturday mornings with your little ones in our charming Harbour View Room. It's a delightful opportunity for unguided playtime amidst a variety of toys and books tailored for toddlers aged 2 to 4.
There's no need to pre-register; simply pay your admission at The Rooms front desk and then drop in anytime between 10 am and noon and let the weekend festivities commence!
While the activities are designed for children aged 2 to 4, younger kids are more than welcome. Caregivers are required to accompany their children throughout the session. Our program room can accommodate up to 20 adults with their little ones, but if it's full, caregivers are encouraged to step back momentarily to allow space for others to join in the fun.
The Playdate is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms Members.
