Day 3 Wednesday, September 24, was devoted to workshop sessions dealing with all phases of theatre operation. The workshops were divided into three groups: Purchasing, Maintenance and Audit, chaired by Russ Moffatt and Joe Whyte; Theatre Operations and Confections chaired by Gerry Dillon and Doug Armstrong and General Sound chaired by Fraser Neal. Subjects discussed and demonstrated in the workshops included Bill Cardinell showing a variety of slides of new construction; William Murray reviewing new projects across the country; Svend Pedersen demonstrating the Eagle Energy Conservation unit and Joe Whyte and Russ Dudley speaking on the new mini computer. Harry Green, Director of Personnel, and Robert West had personal consultations with delegates about employee benefits in the Etude Champlain Room. Many people responded and kept Harry and Bob busy throughout the afternoon. Wednesday night was left free with many delegates touring the downtown area while others went to French restaurants in Old Montreal. Many opted for the dinner show at the Caf’ Conc’ room in Le Chateau Champlain where they enjoyed a Las Vegas-type variety show with the famous Can Can girls.
