​Free Welcoming Week tours at Bruce County Museum, Sept. 13

In celebration of Welcoming Week (Sept. 13-22), the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre invites newcomers to participate in two free guided tours that explore the rich history and diverse cultural heritage of Bruce County.

Tours will take place Friday, Sept. 13, with time slots at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

Each guided tour will run for about 45 minutes, and participants will learn more about the history, stories, and incredible contributions of the local Anishinaabe Peoples, and Bruce County’s first settlers, gaining insight into their immigration journeys and experiences.

Complimentary coffee, tea, and refreshments will be offered after the tour in a relaxed space where guests are encouraged to meet and connect with one another.

Pre-registration is encouraged; visit brucemuseum.ca for full details.

Welcoming Week is an annual campaign led by organizations and communities to bring neighbours of all backgrounds together, building strong connections and affirming the importance of welcoming and inclusive places in achieving collective prosperity.
