Hull Community Events

On the afternoon of February 19 the Grade 11 art students from Philemon Wright High School, led by their teacher Marilyn Smith, held their Art Show at Galerie Old Chelsea.

Protection of heritage: the Wright-Scott house. Gatineau City Council has "reserved" housing development proposed for this property for at least two years, during which time various options will be explored.  The chair of the City's Arts, Culture, Heritage and Literature Commission, Councillor Louise Poirier, commented: "This will allow us to have a clear debate on the fate of the property, the last trace of what was the home of Philemon Wright, the founder of Hull".  She indicated that the City could go as far as purchasing the property, evaluated by the City at just over $700,000, if there was enough citizen support.
