Site president says overhaul long overdue and aims to broaden the history told

The last major renovation at The Confluence took place in 2002, and some of the exhibits haven’t been renewed since the 1990s.

That’s about to change with a major redevelopment of the cultural centre’s exhibits.

Phase 1 is now underway.

The goal is to better represent the full history of the site and surrounding land.

“This is only the second major renovation in 40 years, said Jennifer Thompson, president of The Confluence: Historic Site & Parkland. “Best practice for exhibits is three to five years, so these exhibits have been in place for a really, really long time.
