    The Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography in Ottawa is facing profound change and is losing its building.

    Martha Langford, the founding director, has written an excellent overview of the circumstances leading up to this which is posted here:

    Thanks for the Article. I think people should be upset by this and actually start to write their MP"s over this. I am going to write to out Mayor and see if we can get it to come to Toronto and be permanently housed here. If Ottawa doesn't maybe they can just put it in a City that would appreciate it. I think a proposal is in order not counting on it, we do have the population, tourism to make it work here. Not sure how they can justify this.

    Also make sure you sign the Petition that is posted in the Article.

    Here is the direct link to the petition which unfortunately does not stand out as much as it should on the main page.
