We will be reopening Tuesday September 22nd. Please read the following post IN FULL to understand all new guidelines and protocol: -there will be NO WALK IN TO...URS available -BOOKED TOURS ONLY: currently tours will be available Monday through Friday at 10am and Noon timeslots. They will be limited to one family unit/covid bubble per time slot, with a maximum of 8 people -your tour timeslot will include both inside tour and the Walking Tour, you can choose not to do the Walking Tour but it is included in your $6 tour price -tour timeslots will last a maximum of 1h 15m (if you are running late, that will come off your time) -you can book a tour either here on Facebook, by email ([email protected]) or by phone (519-352-3565) please note your tour is not confirmed unless you have had confirmation from us -masks will be required by all guests -only the museum will be opening at this time, the archives/research room and office will remain closed to visitors -please make your booking at least 48 hours in advance, however you can make them further in advance for better availability -again there are NO WALK IN TOURS available, other programs are run out of the WISH Centre and the doors remain locked for the health and safety of all in the building, remember you cannot just pop in -if you are looking for photocopies of family trees and information we can provide that for you at the regular copy price of 25 cents a copy please note the best option for this is to email/call us what you are looking for and then we can look in to it, make copies and then arrange a pickup time together the archive/research room is closed to the public so booking a tour time slot will not work for you to do research -even if you are hoping to purchase items from the gift shop, pick-up something, make an inquiry, etc. you must have a booked time we do miss seeing all of you, but you can no longer just stop in at this time, everything is by appointment only -debit/credit payment is preferred -all guests will be asked to fill out a covid screening form that’ll include asking for your contact information, this will only be used to notify anyone in the case of outbreaks and only that, it will be shredded after 14 days of your visit -sanitizer is made accessible in the museum and floor stickers will help you keep your distance from the displays, all touchable displays/items will be unavailable at this time so please follow any signage guides Please remember all new protocols are for your safety and that of our staff and volunteers. Also note at any time changes may be made to this in guidance with municipal, provincial and federal changes. We miss you all and want to see you out - but safely!

Update on Summer Positions: Because our Summer Student position comes from Canada Summer Jobs Grant you may see a job posting on the Canada Job Bank Board. Ho...wever because of our current situation with Covid-19 we do not know when we will be reopening so we do not have firm dates (if at all) for a Summer position with us. When we know when we can reopen we will definitely post here. Until then if you still wanted to send in a resume for a Summer Student position that is fine and we will update those via email as well. Thank you for your understanding.
