What goes on behind those doors?!

We all wonder what goes on behind the doors and the scenes in all of those familiar Calgary landmarks. Now there’s going to be a chance to open those mysterious doors and experience the places and workings that we normally never see.

It’s called “Doors Open” and it’ll be happening in October this year.

Come and have a preview by touring the archives and secret ways at LOUGHEED HOUSE on Saturday, February 26th, 10:00 a.m to 12:00 noon.707 – 13th Avenue S.W. There’s free parking off 13th Avenue and off 14th Avenue.

This will include an information session to explain Doors Open in detail and why you’ll want your organization to join in and be part of it.
