The time you have all been waiting for has arrived! The doors at 53 Marlborough Street are open again. On May 6 and 7 we thanked our members for their support by hosting three celebrations to reacquaint them with the Center. While enjoying sparkling wine and munching on French treats, staff was there to greet and update the attendees on the significant improvements we’ve made over the past two years. Friends found each other once again and learned about the exciting updates to membership and programming at the Center.

We hope you enjoy a trip down memory lane and hope to see you au Centre soon!
