I suppose I should advise people that, in addition to CHIN, the Canadian Museum
of Civilization in Hull, Quebec, will be closed to the public "until further
notice" (which likely means "till next Tuesday/20 Jan), also due to a request
from Hydro Quebec to reduce power consumption while services are restored to
the afflicted parts of the province. Staff, however, will mostly be in their
offices, unless unable to get there, due to fallen trees, power lines, etc.

CMC's affiliate, the Canadian War Museum, IS open to the public and is pleased
to announce our new exhibition "Reflections on the Holocaust: The Art of Aba
Bayefsky" which opens to the public tomorrow, 16 January. Aba Bayefsky was a
war artist with the Royal Canadian Air Force, who was with the British Army
when the concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen was liberated. The experience
altered his life. This exhibition of very striking works in several media is
extremely though-provoking. We will be putting a number of the images and a
description of the exhibition onto the Canadian War Museum shortly.
