Engaging Evening
In 2016, a set of human remains were found in a Belgian field with a clue indicating they could be a Royal Newfoundland Regiment soldier. The search and work to identify him would involve a team of international experts, including Provincial Archivist/Director Greg Walsh from The Rooms who was asked to help.
Join Greg in this presentation as he describes the Archival work done to solve the 103 year old mystery, and detail how he helped identify the Royal Newfoundland Regiment soldier while also bringing closure to a proud Newfoundland family.

Artist, Annette Manning invites participants to create a graphic score while immersed in the installation Good Night Moon: a Rhythm, a Tempo by Matthew-Robin Nye.
While listening to an original soundscape composed in response to the installation, participants translate sound, space, and atmosphere into visual marks. Instead of musical notes, graphic scores use lines, shapes and gestures to show rhythm, intensity, or change over time.
No prior drawing or music experience required. Please bring your earphones and phone for close listening to the soundscape lullaby.
This is a free program but a ticket is required. Reserve your free ticket online or by calling 709-757-8090. Tickets are limited.
