Bringing Canada ’ s Most Legendary Venue Into the 21 st Century

And while there ’ s a lot of focus on the refit of the Hall ’ s main venue , the project also involved the creation of multi-venue complex , which includes a recording studio named for Massey Hall ’ s former president and CEO , the late Deane Cameron .
