Reception
What comes to mind when you think of home? Regardless of where we are from, everyone has a different story to tell.
AT HOME: TOO FAR, TOO CLOSE is an exhibition of fourteen stories from fourteen people who have immigrated to Newfoundland and Labrador from around the world and chose here as their home. Their stories are told through photographs and objects.
Join us for an opening reception. This evening includes access to the exhibition, a cash bar, light refreshments, and live music.
An exhibition presented for Come Home Year. Presented in partnership with The Association for New Canadians.
This is a free event. Masks are encouraged.

Today's Events & Programs
Join hosts, Paula Gale and Todd O’Brien for a special live audience radio event celebrating 75 years of The Broadcast — the longest-running daily radio show in Canada.
Former hosts, including Jim Wellman and Jim Winter, along with special guests will join to reflect on the program’s remarkable history, deep connection to audiences across Newfoundland and Labrador, and the evolution from a show about fisheries to one that also explores ocean health and the culture of the people who live and work alongside it.
This milestone anniversary episode is a rare opportunity to experience The Broadcast behind the scenes and be part of a historic moment in Canadian radio. This event will be recorded and made available for broadcast later.
Special musical performances will be provided by Jim Payne and Fergus O’Byrne.
This is a free event but a ticket is reqiured. Please reserve your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090
