The exhibition is definitely worth visiting. It features First Nations and Inuit art - paintings & sculptures of all sizes - from all parts of Canada. The rooms of a former fish factory are tastefully furnished and can be rented for conferences. You can also purchase prints. Admission is free; however, you should make an appointment.
