Time Capsule

 

As part of CAIHR’s 25th Anniversary a Time Capsule was planted in TMRU’s inner garden containing submissions from the Units on what they would like future staff to know about us in 25 years when the capsule is opened as well as our hopes and dreams for what the future holds. A formal ceremony was held during the symposium and then members of staff, past and present, chimed in to bury the Time Capsule.
