It was a pleasure to hold the first
Yoga session with @balance_on_the_bay on the back
deck of the museum! We had to move it to the Lion's Room because of the rain, but the feedback was amazing!
Thank you, @balanceontheBay, again for facilitating
the Yoga on such a beautiful day!

We want to thank the Town of Parry Sound for giving us a fantastic opportunity to be at the Stockey Centre for Canada Day! We had a lot of fun mingling with people.
We also want to thank the community for showing such an enthusiastic support to the museum.

This weeks #historicpost features workers & two teams of horses at the Standard Chemical Co. plant in Parry Sound, 1917. The teams drew wood for the plant.

The plant was built in 1910, and was known as the Canada Chemical Co., but was later renamed. It was dismantled in 1932.

#flashback to the Boy Scouts spreading Christmas cheer🎄

Back in Dec 1960, the Boy Scouts took on the initiative of putting a decorated xmas tree on each floor of the Parry Sound General Hospital. What a great way to make someone smile🥰

When we #volunteer and show solidarity with others, we can make a big difference and create positive change.

We want to say a big thank you to our amazing volunteers. We couldn't do it without your help! Visit the museum and enjoy their stories of Parry Sound.
