On Family Day (Feb. 17), the Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre welcomes visitors of all ages to experience a day of nature-themed fun, with a variety of interactive activities and special presentations by storm chaser and photographer, David T. Chapman.

Chapman will take audiences on an extraordinary journey through Ontario’s natural wonders with three captivating Earth Explorers presentations held in the museum’s Bruce Power theatre. These shows will explore the fascinating world of winter bird-watching, the unpredictable and awe-inspiring weather patterns of Ontario, and the breathtaking beauty of the night sky.

Seating is limited for these presentations, and registration is required. All show tickets include access to the day’s general on-floor programming, including Indigenous Elder teachings, story readings by author Dorothy Ladd, eco-friendly bird-feeder crafts, and heritage demonstrations.

Visitors can also enjoy a delicious barbecue lunch provided by the Saugeen Shores Rotary Club, available for purchase with cash, debit, or credit.

Admission is free for museum members, while general admission rates apply. No registration is required for general on-floor programming, and walk-ins are welcome. This event is proudly presented by Ontario Power Generation.
