Morrin Centre
The Morrin Centre is an English-language cultural centre in Quebec City. Its history illustrates changes in relations between the city's French and English speakers over the past two centuries. The neo-Palladian building is a national historic site of Canada, having once housed a city prison, a Presbyterian-run college, and the oldest learned society in the country. Over the past few decades, the building has taken on symbolic importance for many in the region's English-speaking minority, who have spearheaded projects to preserve and develop it.
