The Governor General of Canada is a mystery to most Canadians, even those who take the time to tour the official residence. The challenge in creating a visitor centre was to maintain the dignity of the highest government office in Canada while making the story accessible for the public.

Apropos Planning worked closely with staff to develop an appropriate tone, style and storyline for the exhibit. We prepared the exhibit plan, selected images and wrote all text.
To make the story accessible, texts were kept very short and simple.
