Canadian Centre for the Great War November 2015 OPENS

[John Gilinsky]

Hello.  A new Canadian museum dedicated to the First World War and called "Canadian Centre for the Great War" opened in November 2015 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.  Overwhelmingly if not exclusively a private museum but accessible reasonably to the public by weekend admission by donation the museum's founder, Mark Cahill opened the museum exhibiting materials from his large World War I collection.  It is currently seeking a larger venue to display far more of Mr. Cahill's collection.  

Here are some Canadian news stories that have photos and/or videos:

Globe and Mail (Toronto, Ontario) Tuesday, November 8, 2016, page A7 (colour photo and caption)

Montreal Gazette (Montreal, Quebec) November 4, 2015 (updated November 11,2015) with 3 distinct videos  and several photos of exhibited materials of all sorts.

Thank you et merci beaucoup pour votre assistance!
