St. Lawrence Forum may close this year

Public forum discussed a broad range of topics for 39 years

By Bulletin Staff –

The 39-year-old St. Lawrence forum may not make it to 40. The fate of the institution at St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts on Front St. E. lies in the determination of a meeting to be held this month.

Forum director Carolyn Langdon, in an email, announced that she is leaving her post there and relocating to Haliburton. She wrote: “There’s no
staff left and in fact the future of the Forum is in jeopardy.  All will be decided at a Budget Meeting in January.  After that we’ll have to launch a public campaign.”
