I've been hoping to have a tour of the site. I think it's important for me to learn the history of the site since I plan to continue to support CAMH's efforts and especially now that redevelopment of the site has begun. I realise this was posted last year, but was wondering if there a presently tours being given. If anyone could please let me know, I'd really appreciate it! Sincerely, Carole G.
