It’s where people come to participate. It’s an accessible space that allows artists, travellers and diners to collide, collaborate, disagree, debate, fall in love, get in trouble and get away with it. Set within the historic walls of Toronto’s oldest continually operating hotel, the Gladstone has evolved into a social and cultural house with 37 artist designed hotel rooms, a restaurant + bar and four unique event venues.” The Gladstone Forum Committee: John Slavin, Melissa Potter, Melissa Maltby and Wendy McPhee *********************************************************************************************************************** Wendy McPhee Conservator Preservation and Digitization Services Toronto Reference Library 789 Yonge Street Toronto, ON M4W 2G8 Tel: 416 393 7127 Fax: 416 393 7147 wmcp...@torontopubliclibrary.ca ****** Unsubscribe by sending a message to consdistlist-le...@cool.conservation-us.org Searchable archives: http://cool.conservation-us.org/byform/mailing-lists/cdl/
