Winter may be here, but there’s no need to stay home!
Join us at The Rooms to exercise and socialize during this colder and drearier time of year. While strolling throughout the building and enjoying both the exhibitions and the views, participants will focus on a different spotlight item from our collection each week. After our stroll, staff will lead a brief discussion on the weekly spotlight, and then everyone is encouraged to stay and socialize with friends new and old.
No registration is needed. Included with the cost of admission ($7.80 plus HST for seniors), free for members.

Each year, the Henrietta Harvey Distinguished Lecture Series welcomes a leading scholar to enrich discussions on urgent public questions.
This year, join Dr. Benjamin L. Berger for a lecture on “What Secularism Hides.”
We often describe our laws, institutions, and even our era as secular—as if the term neatly explains how religion fits (or doesn’t) in modern public life.
But what is secularism? Where did it come from, and what does it actually do? Drawing on global examples and contemporary Canadian debates, Dr. Berger argues that secularism often obscures more than it reveals—about history, power, democracy, and the relationship between religion and the state.
This is a free program but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or by calling 709-757-8090.
