Foreword and society news

The October 1977 foreword describes a year of "consolidation and modest growth": the threat that the City of Thunder Bay would take over the museum building for a city hall expansion had faded, audio-visual shows were being seen by tourists at Sibley Provincial Park, and the McCullough Gallery and Thunder Bay National Exhibition Centre were drawing growing audiences.

The inside page lists the society's honorary and working officers: Carson F. Piper, W. Russell Brown, Gertrude Dyke and John Grant McKirdy as honorary members, and Annette Augustine, John Augustine, Ross Babion, Roy H. Piovesana, Kenneth L. Morrison, Kenneth C. A. Dawson, David W. Delgaty, Wallace E. Bryan, Joan Hebden, Keith Denis, Allan Norton and Dorothy A. Smith among the officers and directors. The printed list does not make clear which person held which office in the OCR text, so roles are not assigned here.

The cover note describes the Publicity Pagoda, an architectural elevation drawn by Larry Fogolin of the Thunder Bay Architectural Inventory team. A back-page advertisement lists earlier volumes I–IV (1973–76) and the authors in them: Eva Beckett, Susan Campbell, Kenneth Dawson, Keith Denis, Michael Donovan, W.L.C. Greer, John Love, Mary MacLean, Jean Morrison, Richard Ticknor, Annie Turk, Gregg Young, Mary Lou Curtis, Elinor Barr and Roy Piovesana.
