AGO's "Massive lay Off" after the "Massive Transformation"

AGO gives boots to 108 employees
After the $300 million “massive Transformation” and facing a huge revenue shortfall, and with too few people passing through its doors, the Art Gallery of Ontario is considering laying off 61 permanent and 47 contract employees next month.
With the attendance and the bookings of event spaces far less than expected and not to mention the increased admission fee to $18 per person. AGO revenues are 20 per cent below projections.
Even I am a AGO member but after my unpleasant experience there, I had not return since. I wonder how many like me staying away for the same reason.
