Our special packages

Photography sessions, films and video shoots
Family Photography

Unauthorized photography is not allowed in the Morrin Centre.

If a room has been rented at the daily rate, use of the Centre's rooms for professional photography is available to the renter at no extra cost. For example, bridal couples whose reception is taking place in our College Hall can use our rooms for professional photography free of charge.

However, a charge of $25/hour will apply in any other case. These charges will be considered donations, and tax receipts will be issued. Please contact us for reservations at least a week in advance. This will ensure that you can have someone escort you around the building and that the rooms you are interested in are not reserved for any other event.

Please keep in mind that the Morrin Centre is a historical site, so certain guidelines should be respected when having photography sessions:
  • Please do not move the furniture in the rooms.
  • Smoking is not permitted inside the building.
  • Children should be supervised at all times.

Commercial or promotional photography or film shooting

Anyone taking photographs to promote the Morrin Centre will not be charged a fee but will nevertheless require prior authorization.


Commercial photography for magazines, films, advertising and documentaries are allowed at specific daily or half-day rates. Please contact us for a visit of the rooms or to check for availability of spaces. Our team members will gladly meet with you in order to provide the best service and information needed for a smooth implementation of your project.

Film shoot

You are a movie producer seeking to shoot a scene in an old library, gaol, or college hall? The Morrin Centre will gladly rent out our spaces for a full- or half-day. Please contact us for information.
If your production's objective is directly linked to the promotion of the Morrin Centre, a film shoot can be arranged at no cost under certain conditions.
