Story time with the Greater Sudbury Museum!

Join us online to watch the 14th annual Anderson Farm Christmas tree lighting tomorrow at 6:30 pm!

We are excited to offer another great month of virtual programming at the Museums!

Join us for a fun bilingual story time! Today I will be reading Tap To Play by Salina Yoon.

Today is Remembrance Day which gives us the opportunity to look back on all who have served in our countries defence. The City of Greater Sudbury Archives has many informative online resources pertaining to the World Wars, such as, "The Book of Remembrance:" https://www.archeion.ca/book-of-remembrance and its associated guide which recently had another 25 soldiers added: https://www.archeion.ca/reference-guide-for-the-book-of-rem.

Check out our online exhibition "Copper Cliff at War" to learn more about the early development of the town and the town's involvement in the First and Second World Wars through photographs, objects, and stories. You can view the exhibition by clicking on the following link. http://www.virtualmuseum.ca//histoires_de_chez_/pm_v2.php

Join us for our Kids' craft this Thursday! We will make a Remembrance Day handprint poppy wreath in honour of those who fought and died in the line of duty.

Here is a sneak peek at the upcoming virtual programs offered by the Greater Sudbury Museums for the month of October! Supply lists will be available at the beginning of the week for each craft.

Join us for a virtual story time on the Greater Sudbury Museums' FB page tomorrow @ 10:30 AM!

The Greater Sudbury Museums (which include the Anderson Farm Museum) are hiring a full-time intern! This is a year-long position. The posting period is quite short (it closes on October 8th) so interested applicants should not wait long to apply! Please note: Because the position is funded by the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation, specific requirements for eligibility apply. While the requirements state "must be the first instance of employment in field of study", n...ot all work in a museum setting "counts" as a previous instance of employment according to the grant. For example: unpaid/volunteer work and some part-time and temporary work including less than a year of full time work does not necessarily exclude you from being eligible. If you meet all of the other requirements but are unsure about your eligibility based on past work, please contact us at [email protected]. For all other inquiries, detailed information about the position, and to apply, please visit the link below. https://www.greatersudbury.ca//curatorial-assistant-funde/ See more

Here it is! Our September craft for kids... String art is super fun and can be as simple or complicated as your abilities permit. For older kids, try a pattern nailed into a slab of wood or pins in a cork board tile.
