GNLM RESPONSE to Covid-19
Being that so many of our ardent and wonderful supporters are of the age of retirement, we really do feel responsible in doing our bit to support the efforts to slow the spread of Covid-19. Therefore we will be following all guidelines of social distancing and isolation in relation to museum operations. As such, the museum will be closed until further notice.
This unfortunately means that museum events in the coming weeks will be cancelled or postponed. These events include our DAVID THOMPSON GALA DINNER which was set to take place on Saturday, April 25th, 2020. A gathering of this size at this time would be reckless even if isolation periods were not extended as far as the end of April. Those who purchased tickets will be refunded by the director/volunteer that they purchased their ticket from. Close on the heels of the David Thompson Gala dinner was our Annual General Meeting which too will have to be cancelled. In lieu of a sit down meeting at the museum we will prepare meeting materials as would have been reported in person and distribute them among the membership so that you are all still informed.
As for the museum itself, all key holders are asked not to enter the building until notified otherwise with exception of the curator who will monitor the collection and building, along with township personnel as required. We will update you all as time progresses and in the meantime we wish you the most in health and safety. Please take care of yourselves.
Thank you.
