FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (Thursday, September 11, 2014)

Huronia Museum maintains Category A status as a Museum

Although Huronia Museum has been challenged with building issues for a number of years now it is delighted to report, that after a recent review by the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Movable Cultural Property Directorate, the museum has maintained its status as a Category A museum which collects and preserves the community’s heritage.

“Category A” museums meet the requirements for designation as such as they have the capacity to preserve certified cultural property and make it available to public.

Huronia Museum is currently open to the public seven days a week until Thanksgiving from 9 am to 5 pm with the exception of Wednesdays where the museum is open from 9 am to 9 pm.

Huronia Museum currently has a reduced admission rate as a portion of the main exhibit floor is closed as it cares for artifacts which require conservation from a flood in mid-August.

 For further information on Huronia Museum please contact the museum at 705-526-2844

Huronia Museum is a not-for-profit charity, which collects, preserves, exhibits and educates on the history of Huronia.

 Dr. Nicholls has co-curated a collection of First World War postcards from the Richard J. Whittington collection into an online exhibit, which contains pictures and illustrations representing prevalent cultural themes from war time and the spirit of the people.  His talk will offer us an insight into the many moods, sentiments and emotions of Canadians during this time or war and help us to commemorate the brave contributions made by so many in World War I.
