Hello everyone
We have some very exciting news to share! As you will read from the Press Release from Mr. Fedeli’s office, the Mattawa Museum is the recipient of an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. It is always exciting when you receive grants, as nothing is ever guaranteed, but this one, in particular, is such wonderful news. It is an Accessibility Grant! Finally, our Museum – all three levels, including washroom facilities will be accessible to everyone!
Nothing could be more appreciated.
Renovations will take place over the winter months so we will be ready to welcome you when we open our 2024 Season. This will be a special year as we celebrate our 40th anniversary and will open with another brand-new, very special exhibit dedicated to the women of our community – past and present.
Please follow us on this journey! thank you, meegwetch, merci, marsi
