Gatineau, Quebec, May 6, 2008 — The Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation is pleased to announce the appointment of Jennifer Price as Vice-President, Public Affairs and Publishing. Ms. Price brings to this executive position a wealth of communications and management experience in the public and private sectors.
