Parliament Hill Fire – 100 Years ago Today
A moment to honour the lives and the stories that ended one hundred years ago with one of the worst fires this city has had. A moment also to remember two individuals, one unsung, one more popularly remembered: first the librarian Alpheus Todd who insisted that steel doors be installed and Connie MacCormac who 100 years ago ordered them shut – thus safeguarding the amazing library we are familiar with to this day.
