History Love: Isolation Staycation

​Just because we can’t travel or get out and explore right now, doesn’t mean we can’t treat ourselves to an isolation-staycation! Check out our Local History Love guide below and follow our blog series as we highlight activities and things you can do from your living room that help support our local businesses, musicians, artists, museums and more.

ACTIVITY IDEA

With Spring blooming around us, it's a great time to get out and explore some heritage neighbourhoods. Check out the Courthouse Neighbourhood and Kettle Creek Village, both have self-guided walking tours for you to learn a little history on the way!

All activities ideas are suggestions you can do while staying safe during Covid-19. Please practice physical distancing of 2 metres and use common sense when out and about. If you are feeling unwell, please stay home.
