We have properly moved, stored and disposed of our assets. The lighted sign that hung outside at the front has been stored. Our Archives have been turned over to the Moose Jaw Public Library, where they can be viewed by anyone by appointment. We can temporarily retrieve any items we wish for special events. The Library will preserve our important historical artifacts in a climate-controlled environment.
