Bruce County MuseumThe Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre is preparing to welcome visitors back with a gradual reopening, starting on August 10, 2020 as they open to members. Then on August 24, 2020 they will open to the general public. Bruce County continues to put public safety first and will have protocols that keep visitors and staff safe by following guidelines under Stage 3 of the Provincial framework for re-opening and the advice of Grey Bruce Public Health officials.

Things have changed since your last visit, BCM&CC is happy to have you back, and as they re-open to the public, they ask you to work with them to keep the Museum a safe place for yourself, for all visitors and for staff by following safety measures in place.

“Over the last several months we have all been navigating our new normal and staff have been innovating our services to stay connected and engaged with our communities. While your next experience at the BCM&CC might look a little different, you can rest assured that we remain committed to providing the same great service and memorable experiences in a safe and welcoming environment.” says Cathy McGirr, Director, Museum & Cultural Services.
