Monday evening was the first public exhibition of the new lighting system at The Hall.

Exterior Painting Almost Complete
Seabord Painting has only one small portion of the western wall remaining to finish up with the final coat of heritage colour. Completing this small portion will conclude this phase of the exterior paint project. Made possible with grants from the Muncipality of Cumberland County, generous donations from supporters of The Hall and hours of volunteer effort, planning is now under way to get estimates to complete the exterior painting of the rear and eastern side of the building.
