Mount Allison University on Youtube -- "Day in the Life: Struts Gallery"

 At this link: Day in the Life: Struts Gallery

Façade
Facelift
Fundraiser

If you’ve seen us in town, you’ve likely noticed the wooden structure in front of our building! Well, what’s going on? Struts Gallery is undergoing a major facelift.

We are renovating the front-facing wall of Struts Gallery. The first phase includes brick-repointing using heritage methods, restoring the window to the historic Tingley Bros & Duncan storefront look and installing an accessible front door in the iconic yellow that we all know and love.

Why are we renovating? Our engineering consultants Heritage Standing Inc. identified that our front wall was degrading rapidly and in need of immediate intervention to protect and stabilize it. Engineered shoring was installed in June 2026 and permanent repairs begin on September 21, 2026. This phase of work will cost us about $200,000 total.

With news that we were awarded a $50,000 grant from the Government of New Brunswick through the Built Heritage Program, we’ve jumped into action. We are now launching the Façade Facelift Fundraiser, with the goal of raising $20,000 by Dec. 1, to match a $20,000 grant that J.T. Clark Family Foundation has committed to us if we match their funds! So far, we have $5,167 raised.

If you can’t donate, help us find someone who can. We are seeking individuals, foundations, and businesses who can commit $1,000 or more. Send your inquiries to Interim Director Michelle, she would love to chat with you. We are a registered charitable organization that issues tax receipts for any donations over $50.

There are many ways to support us: renew your membership with us or purchase our merchandise. We have new Whess Harman ‘Tenderizer’ tees for sale, we restocked our Struts Allergy hats in periwinkle and mustard & have Natt Cann prints available. This month you can find us at the Sackville Farmer’s Market and we’re hosting a Halloween extravaganza in October – more details coming soon.

We need your support. Please spread the word.

With love and excitement for the long-awaited glow up,
Michelle, Lucas, Angie & the Board of Directors"

Update & Support for Rima Azar - Targetted by Cancel Culture at Mount Allison University


 

Brittany Levionnois writes:

"My heart sank when I read what was being said about my compassionate friend, my sons Aunty Rima. To watch misunderstanding and defamation burn through social media like wild fire... it was infuriating. I questioned what our society has become? 1/4

Is this what the future holds for my sons generation? A constant battle of virtue signalling, oppression, suppression of thought and cancellation... No real attempt at communication, freedom to think, attempt at understanding or attunement. 2/4

But as I write this, I am grateful and full of appreciation for everyone who has stepped up on behalf of Rima. Actually, on the behalf of humanity because that’s what Rima is all about... a better tomorrow. So, Thank you! Tomorrow will be better. 3/4

From the bottom of Bambi’s heart: Thank you! Merci! 4/4 "

Rima Azar is a great example of the culture on campus to 'shut people up' who you find are not going along with the 'narrative' which is unfortunate because universities are supposed to be places where ALL IDEAS AND CONCEPTS are up for discussion and challenge... especially Liberal Arts Boutique universities... if this university fails to uphold Rima's rights to exist and work on their campus as a woman with a mind and a unique voice; in my opinion they have little value to society at this point.  Should she be re-instated it will be a time to heal, learn and move on for all the young people who think its perfectly OK to destroy the lives of others in this town who don't share their views - your tolerance of Rima and others like her is your passport to a better life of peace, acceptance, love, understanding and a deeper exploration of what it means to be a human being ... abide, keep the conversations going, be prepared to be an uncomfortable adult, be forced to think deeper, survive... words shouldn't hurt you. Be real.

[That's my advice as an outsider to all the campus culture vultures.]
