As more and more attractions reopen in local communities, a must-see attraction in eastern Renfrew County is the Arnprior and District Museum.
The facility reopened on July 11th under Stage Two rules, but Curator Janet Carlile says for museums there is no difference in regulations between Stage Two, and Stage Three which comes into effect later this week.
The irony is that the visiting exhibit at the Museum is entitled Unmasking Influenza, and deals with the Spanish Flu of 1918-1919.
Carlile says the parallels are uncanny.
The Museum Curator notes the present debate on mask wearing as a preventative measure is nothing new.
She says the Pandemic spread across Canada via train, as troops that had been deployed overseas during the First World War were reassigned to the aborted Western invasion of the Soviet Union via Siberia in 1919.
Surviving Influenza had originally been scheduled to move on from Arnprior in April, but is now here until September.
