HERITAGE OTTAWA

The Library and Archives Canada Preservation Centre in Gatineau, seldom open to the public, will soon begin offering guided tours in both English and French.

The sprawling facility where much of Canada's archival heritage is preserved and restored is set for a major expansion in 2020.

The free tours will be conducted once a month and pre-registration is required.

By all appearances this will be a popular ticket! The first tour scheduled for Tuesday, July 25 is already full, but registrations are being accepted for subsequent monthly tours to December 2017.

The Preservation Centre is located at 625 Du Carrefour Boulevard in Gatineau.
