Speakers included (clockwise from top left): the Museum Curator and Advisor David Liss, Castlepoint Numa President Alfredo Romano, Councillor Ana Bailão (Ward 18) and Mayor John Tory. Master of Ceremonies, Armenian-Canadian actress Arsinée Khanjian (left) and the Museum CEO and Director Chantal Pontbriand (right) who took questions from the audience.
