Time Capsule Opening!


The secret is almost out…

This Saturday, September 22nd, join distinguished Mount Allison graduates, the Honourable Margaret Norrie McCain, Chancellor Emerita, and Wallace McCain at 10:30 a.m. in the Crabtree Auditorium, Mount Allison University campus, as the Trueman House time capsule is officially opened.

The time capsule was discovered behind a plaque — commemorating Mount Allison men and women who served in the Second World War — inside the brick cairn located beneath the Trueman House porte cochère during renovations this spring.

Trueman House, which opened in 1946, was a men’s residence for many years before becoming a co-ed house in 1995. The building is currently undergoing renovations and will be the home to Mount Allison’s new Student Centre, scheduled to open in September 2008.

Everyone is welcome to attend this ceremony and witness history in the making.

See the full schedule of this and other Homecoming events during the weekend of September 21-23.

If you are unable to attend in person, we are planning to web stream the event LIVE: http://www.mta.ca/inthecentre/timecapsule.html
